Problems with Wifi connection program
-
Hello, we've developed some utilities for WiFi management and connection based on OID_802_11_* codes which work fine for 2k/XP. For the utilities to work, the Wireless Zero Config service must be stopped first. When trying the code in Windows Vista, I must then stop the corresponding WZC service (wlansvc), whic I do without problems. The usual sequence of OID commands work OK, but the interface doesn't come up: the connection seems to be stuck at a state called "media unauthenticated", acording to ipconfig, although the air connection with the AP establishes fine. Also, the connection does not get listed in the "Network and Sharing Center" window. As this code works fine in XP, I assume the connection process needs some additional work to get the interface bound by the OS, but I cannot find any information as to what could be needed. I am aware of a new API called Native WiFi which purportedly can be used to do this stuff, but for obvious reasons I'd like to leverage my existing, tested code. Any clue most welcome. I can provide more details on request. Thank you very much in advance.
