WIFI client program?

I would like to create a wifi client program. I cant seem to find any information about it. Anyone know where I can look/. thanks in advance.

WiFi is a wireless networking protocol. As such, any networking aware application (browser, email, chat, file transfer, etc) can make use of it.

What, exactly, are you trying to do?

hi,
thanks for answering.
What Id like to do is create a wifi client program that
takes the SSID, network key, and connect to an AP.
Which languages would be appropriate for this type of program? Thanks in advance.

This is usually done by the network card driver, and as such you shouldn't have to do anything. If you're looking to automate this process, you'll have to do some screen-scraping and/or sending some Windows messages. Since each manufacturer's user interface is different, you'll have to write code that is specific to a particular card, and version of the driver GUI.

C# probably would not be my first choice for this -- I would use straight C & the Win32 API because it gets me closer to the Windows message pump.
