How to enabe/disable WEP and 802.1x in XP SP1

NTDEV

You can do this by utilizing zero conf to set the wireless oid.
Huy

Hi everyone,

I am writing an application on XP SP1 with Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN
Card.

In the application, I hope I can enable/disable WEP and 802.1x
programatically. How should I do it?

I know there is a “Wireless Networks” property page which can do this. But
I hope I can do it in my application.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Elton

How can I make use of the so-called zero-conf? Is there any API that I can
call? Could you explain it in more details?

Thanks and regards
Elton

Do you mean I just use OID_802_11_WEP_xxx and OID_802_11_AUTHENTICATION_MODE
bula~bula~~ to do it? Is that simple? then great!!!

Seems there is no problem to control WEP with these OIDs. Now, I am worring
about the 802.1x – can it also be controlled by some OIDs. Seems only
OID_802_11_AUTHENTICATION_MODE and OID_802_11_PRIVACY_FILTER have something
to do with 802.1x.

Thanks and regards
elton

You can access zeroConfig through WMI. I think the 801_11_OID_XXX is the
object that you have to manipulate. Once I remember what it is, I will let
you know.

well,
you can use WZCSAPI on Pocket PC 2003 and above - it is documented for this
OS - but not for other OS’s.
for OS’s below that you can use NDISUIO protocol or RawEther.
Zero Conf is not documented for XP , do not use that- MS purposes not to
use that.
YOu cannot set 802_11 OID’s thru WMI ,though you can query.

Tarun

Thank you guys, I am going to do it by sending OID set/query via ndisuio
first.

Thanks and regards
