Connect to WLAN

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Ren=E9?= Kulschewski]

Hello,

how can i programmatically connect to WLAN on a WinCE42 device ?

To connect with GPRS i used the connectionmanager class of the opennetcf
library.

Now im trying to connect over a wifi card (WLAN).
But i can't find out the guid of the WLAN connection.

With Networking.GetAdapters() i can get all information of my access point
(name, mac adress etc.).
But i can't find a function to connect to a access point.

Any help ?

Regards
René

Connect to the access point? What are the characteristics of the AP? WEP?
PEAP? You should be able to connect to it via the user interface of the
device, right? If that works and you, for some reason, want to control that
in code, look at OpenNETCF's latest source version of OpenNETCF.Net. You
can build AP associations with that...

Paul - there's no way to create AP Associations that use PEAP is there?
We're frantically trying to get the single-sign-on model working with
our device, but the Zero-Config utility has no APIs and we haven't had
success with our OEM in picking any of the information that we need.
Thanks,a

I don't remember. Can you do it from the UI? Anything that you can do from
the UI you can, in theory, do from your own code, but I don't have any way
to try any PEAP stuff.

When you say "do it from the UI" - I assume you mean create some sort
of AP association. In that case - all you can do is enter your
username/password and check the "save password" checkbox. We'll wait
on the OEM to see what hooks they can offer, but we haven't come up
with much as yet for creating PEAP creds to be cached.
Thanks for getting back so quick.a
