Intel® Software Network

hi fellas,

i was wondering in the network class of can i access the name of the network in which i connnect to? i can get it to log connections and disconnections but i would like the name of the network

thanks

Hi conrad:

I am not sure the following answer is what your need:

1) Use string sKey = Connectivity::GetNetworkAdapterKey(url,...) to get the network card key value

2) Use NetworkAdapterClass->GetInstance(sKey) to get the pNetworkInstance.

3) call pNetworkInstance->Name.GetValue() to get name information

    and pNetworkInstance->Description.GetValue() to get more detail information.

If you need more information about the network Key.Name,Descriptons,PnpDeviceId etc ,please refer the Start->Programs->Intel Mobile Platform SDK 1.3->Docs->"Programing Guide" document.

best regards!

Hi Mad, many thanks for getting back to me.

I have tried what you have given me, looked throught the guide you told me to look at

ill tell you want i am looking for, see whenever you connect to a wireless network, you will get a pop up saying "Wireless Network Connected" "Connected to NETWORK NAME OF NETWORK", is there anywey you can get that name from the iMSDK?

thanks

conrad

Hi conrad:

     Does the Protocol802_11Instance::Ssid property work? the property tell the works station which you have connected.

    The Event  "Associated" and "Disassociated"  can help you to indentify the Access Point changing event.

     besides , after you get the Protocol802_11::Bssid property value, you can iterator it in the ScanAP() list , then you can get more information about Associated access point .

thanks MAD

i  found the class there, thought it would have been in around the network classes

thanks for your help once again

Hi MAD, me AGAIN

was trying to acess the SSID, it works from the samples that the iMSDK provide, but i have tried this.

private void Print802_11Info(string sKey)

try

Protocol802_11Class my802_11Class = new Protocol802_11Class();

Protocol802_11Instance my802_11Instance = (Protocol802_11Instance)my802_11Class.GetInstance(sKey);

catch (Exception ex)

Hi conrad:

     It seem that the sKey value is not correct, so what is value of the input parameter "string sKey". In MPSDK, the key value is something like "

\\?pci#ven_14e4&dev_1677&subsys_01791028&rev_01#4&1d7eff9e&0&00e0#{ad498944-762f-11d0-8dcb-00c04fc3358c}\{8efadf78-91b9-4772-84af-0bd4a5bae936}

    so my suggestion is that if you have only one wireless adapter , you can copy the sample code which use Protocol802_11Collection to iterator the ProtocolInstance.

good luck!
