    Channel number of Access Point

    I am trying to obtain the channel number from the WirelessZeroConfigNetworkInterface. I am using OpenNetCF version 2.3. No matter what the channel number being used is the value reported back is always -480. All the other information for the access point looks to be okay. Any ideas?

    Thanks, Kirk

        Public interfaces() As NetworkInterface = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
        Public wzc As WirelessZeroConfigNetworkInterface = Nothing
        Public ap As AccessPoint = Nothing


           For Each ni As NetworkInterface In interfaces
                If TypeOf ni Is WirelessZeroConfigNetworkInterface Then
                    wzc = ni
                    If wzc.NearbyAccessPoints.Count > 0 Then
                        For Each Me.ap In wzc.NearbyAccessPoints
                            Dim Chan as integer = ap.Channel
                            (more code)

                        next

                    end if

           next

    You will be lucky to get anything answered in these forums now, they used to be good, I think they have lost interest and don't bother looking at them now.

     I am using windows CE 5.0. The device is a custom handheld unit made be Flytech specifically for our company.
    All the Microsoft utilities report back the correct channel number.

    Is it integrated WiFi, or a plug-in module?  Do you know who's WiFi module it is (we're trying to most closely match your setup).

     It is integrated. Shows up as a Marvell GSPI8686 Wireless Card
