Re: Setitng OID_802_11_SSID in XP SP2

Hi Pavel,

1.Microsoft never said that Ndisuio driver in XP is a public interface.
You've used it on your own risk, you've lost.
There is a sample source code (in the DDK) similar to ndisuio, that you
can
use instead.
What is the name of the sample? I can see "ndisuio" in
"C:\WINDDK\2600.1106\src\network\ndis" folder. Is this you're talking about?

2. Even if you manage to set the SSID, this won't get you connected to a
real life network protected by WPA or WPA2. You'll need a supplicant.
This means I have to write a driver, right? If so, are there any docs for
beginners, like how to install the sys file, etc., And if want to debug (to
see if my code is really being executed), how do I do?

this won't get you connected to a real life network protected by WPA or
WPA2.
I assume this is because WPA or WPA2 doesn't have corresponding OIDs exposed
by driver like "OID_802_11_ADD_WEP" for WEP, is that correct?

Though in the future I would love to write a driver, at the moment I'll be
happy with just WEP if it works without having to write a driver.

Thanks,

John.

John,
then maybe you won't find the following answers usable.
Anyway...

Hopefully somebody can provide more encouraging answers.
