Windows CE 2.11

ax0n · 05-04-2005

I know there's basically NO "stumbling" software out there for CE 2.11. If there is, PLEASE correct me, as it will make this task a lot easier.

I've done quite a bit of searching on the NDIS miniport API for CE 2.x and I still can't find an answer to my question.

Is it possible to determine the SSID that your card is associated with when you choose "ANY"?

The driver itself just tells me the BSSID (MAC Address) that I am associated to. While that's cool and all, I'd at least like to be able to determine the SSID I'm associated to as well. I have the CE compiling tools, and I can more than likely write a program that simply tells you what SSID you're hooked up to if someone can give me some pointers. I can't find ANYTHING about it on TechNet.

My bigger plan is to possibly write a quick hack for CE 2.11 that will grab the NMEA data from the serial port, and try to turn it into some kind of primitive stumbler for CE, since no one else seems to have tasked themselves to do it.

Any help?

Are you associating to just random AP's using "ANY" or are you trying to get the SSID of your AP this way?

my PDA, when set to ANY, will associate with a few different AP's from my apartment. I know that association THEN SSID grabbing is not the "proper" or "ethical" way to scan,but it seems to be the only way CE 2.x can do it.

My main rig is OpenBSD, prism 3 card, dstumbler. It's also old, heavy,and a pentium 90. I wouldn't mind being able to do some lightweight stumbling with my HPC, ya know?

Not allways necessary to jump on the Upgrade wagon. It all depends on if the current system satisfies their requirements

Heck, otherwise at least 70 % of the married people here are going to have to upgrade their spouse.. Or even risk being upgraded them selves

For the record, not planning on upgrading my spouse. And I'm not writing that, just because she's looking over my shoulder right now - Honestly..

yah, upgrade? I JUST BOUGHT IT!

It's a Jornada 680e. $120 before shipping. Stumbling is simply a pie in the sky deal. If I can make it work, great. If not, no biggie.

I replaced my Audiovox Thera (PPC2002 with a built-in-phone) because:

1) The non-user-replaceable battery wasn't holding much of a charge.
2) As a phone, it got a crappy signal
3) As a PDA, it wasn't doing what I needed. My handwriting is too crappy for it to recognize (I'm epileptic), and the on-screen keyboard sucked.

So I'm back to a normal phone and a PDA with a keyboard that I can use.

I need it for contacts, wireless internet, email, remote systems administration in a pinch, note taking in meetings, and various other things.

After being a UNIX Server/Network geek by day, I deliver pizza at night to try to pay off some of my wife's medical bills. That's where I do most of my stumbling. I have a spreadsheet that I use to track my deliveries and whatnot. Stumbling with the Jornada once in a while would be ideal since I already have it with me in the car for doing my spreadsheets. I don't mind running a Pentium 90 laptop in my back window, but the less equipment the better, you know? Plus, it would make walking around public places a little easier.
