    SDF connect to an access point

    hi,

    i wrote a small program that should connect a pda to a ad-hoc node. i do a scanning until i find the desired ap. what i do now is:

    myAdapter.SetWirelessSettings(desiredAP). it seems to work, at least no exception is caught. but if i look into the properties of the adapter on the pda it says that it is still connected to the infrastructure wlan. do i have to do anything else to connect to ad-hoc aps?

     

    thanks in advance

    greets

    tom

    solved:

    the network wasnt in the prefered network list of windows ce.

     

    however is there no way to bin to a network that isnt in the list? since the application should discover new nodes with a certain ssid naming convention.

     

    thanks in advance

    Re: SDF connect to an access point

    Basically it is as i said above. SDF only empowers you to manipulate the prefered network list that windows already maintains, so you can choose to which known network you want to connect, but you cannot connect to networks that are not in the list. maybe in a later version of sdf this is possible, i didnt look into it after that point and made a workaround with a unix operating system and several perl scripts since in unix you can directly manipulate the driver.

     

    cheers

     The current version of the SDF has a bug in adding new access points (outlined in our bug database).  A fix is already in and tested and will ship in the next release.
