    how can i tell when the device is scanning for other networks?

      Hello all,

    The short story :
    what i want to do is be able to identify when my device is scanning for other wireless networks! Is there a property in the adapter or the network interface tha tells that the device is in scanning mode?
     
     I am using the OpenNETCF.Net.NetworkInformation.InterfaceOperationalStatus but the only values that i take are Operational and NotOperational..?
     
     
    The long story :
    There are occasions when the device is connected to a wifi network of my preference and it has a valid ip address but none packet gets through. In some bad occasions the whole application hungs without any exception in the log file :-( . I have identified that these are the moments when the device is in scanning mode for other wifi networks cause the connected network has poor signal (i have set the option to seach for other networks when poor signal). So i want when the device is in scanning mode the application to stop sending packets or e.g. store them for later transmission.. How can i do that?

    many thanks!
