help require for sending/recieving data from wifi device

Hi all,

I have an HP Ipaq pocket PC and 2.4GHz Access Point. I like to develop
an application which will be able to send and receive packets from a
wifi device(Application program which will work on Windows CE device).
As the result of my searching I come to know that I need to use the NDIS
library to access the device and also I have got a tutorial program that
can scan and display all the access points.

So my question is how can I open the device to read and write data to
the device. I had tried to open the device using
IOCTL_NDISUIO_OPEN_DEVICE command through DeviceIoControl function, but
its doesn't work for me.

I could get the device handle using createfile API. Can anyone help me
to know what is the step by step way to open a this wireless device to
read/write data from the device.



Very thanks in advance,

Have a nice day!!!!!

A question, and then a follow up
which model Ipaq? Some have built-in wifi (has to be turned on), and some
people use other things (like sdio cards)..

The followup is what are you trying to do? there are lots of free progams
that do that (find ap's and log info to the handheld, many even let you
connect to the ones it see's, I happen to use wififofum and vmnet browser,
but there are lots of others)
