Hello,

I'm want to get the SSID of the current wireless network.
After some searching on the web, I've found a solution by querying the
WMI, but it seems that its not working on Vista anymore.

If I query "Select * From MSNdis_80211_ServiceSetIdentifier" on XP it
returns the SSID of the connected network(s).
If I use the same query on Vista, it returns an error "Not supported"
with the return code 4200.

Are there any other ways to get the SSID with C# under Vista or a fix
for that broken WMI stuff?

Thank you

Greets,
Nils
