Scanning and Connecting to WIFI networks

[albert.miraveo]

Hi, does anyone have any tip on how does on scan and connect to WIFI networks?

I've been searching the whole day and from what i understood for scanning you could use http://code.google.com/p/iphone-wire...80211Functions but that's private and Apple won't be happy if you use it.

And didn't find anything for connecting.

On the other hand there is http://www.aspecto-software.com/wififofum/ what is on the appstore and promises you scanning and a connect button, so it seems it's possible to do it.

Does anyone have a pointer?

It seems the only solution for this task is using private api. But I'm wondering how does wififofum works.

Apple has some faults in the review process, if you do only 1 private API call, you might get through, not gurantees though.

But how does Apple know I ued private API if I don't show these info? Which means I only use it internally.

I assume they can use a utility along the lines of ldd to see what libraries your app depends on.

Why does WiFiFoFum still works and WiFiTraker does not? (3.0)

Ok, I admit I'm just envious, because I'm unable to get Apple80211 calls working.

Did anybody find a solution to this? I want to connect to a wifi network in code (using details inputted by the user). The app is for a research project (it will never be released on the app store) so using a private api is not a problem.

Cheers
