    Java Wireless API

    Hi, is there in Java any command or API for manage wireless connections?
    I want to create an application for auto-scan wireless networks and manage connection profiles (password, ip...).
    I'm using socket for communication between two hosts, but now I want to add a level for manage the wireless connection, to by-pass the windows XP wireless manage application.
    Where can I find references or examples? Thanks.

    Java can't do that (without any JNI hacking); all it can do is setup connections but it doesn't know about physical layers.

    kind regards,

      thanks for the reply, about setup connections what can I do with Java? Actually, I set a socket to a fixed IP with
      socket = new Socket(InetAddr ess.getByName(" 192.168.1.94"), 1100);
      Do you know if is possible to change wireless connected network with other languages, like VB.net or C#, or others? Thanks.

        C and C++ are fine candidates for that. Of course you can use JNI if you insist that Java would be involved. btw, what do you want to do with that Socket?
