hi,

I am writing the application that requires to setup a Wifi(802.11b)
connection with the server through Access Point(AP) and do some processing. I
want to use NDIS interface .

1) how do i use the OID_DOT11_XXX OIDs. i am not finding any help for same.
2) what is the difference between the OIDs OID_DOT11_XXX and OID_802_11_XXX.
3) OID_802_11_XXX is working but i need to get many functionalities like
--setting the DTIM value.
--setting the beacon interval.
--getting the SNR value so that i can select the AP with less SNR etc.
which are not possible using the OID_802.11_XXX OIDS that i implemented
using the NDISIUO interface.

You generally use the WZCabc() calls to monitor and control wireless
interfaces in Windows CE (the exception would be an adapter that has its own
configuration program and generally acts like a plain Ethernet adapter, as
far as the OS is concerned). WZCQueryInterfaceEx() would give you the
status of everything for a single card.

If you have Platform Builder, you can take a look at the source code for
WZCTOOL, one of the samples. It does most of the things that are reasonable
to do in Windows CE with respect to wireless cards.

The OIDs are somewhat documented, I think, in the Windows CE 6.0
documentation, so you might find something there. I don't think I've ever
set the beacon interval or DTIM, so I'm not even sure that you can do that.
SNR is not returned by any of the calls that I've ever used.
