I'm using Managed Wifi to get the radio state of my Wifi adapter.
How can I turn the radio ON in case it is actually off ?
Something like this :
WlanClient wlanClient = new WlanClient()
var targetInterface = wlanClient.Interfaces.FirstOrDefault()
if (targetInterface != null)
{
bool radioIsOff = targetInterface .RadioState.PhyRadioState[0].dot11SoftwareRadioState == Wlan.Dot11RadioState.Off;
if (radioIsOff)
{
// TODO
}
}
I just added this to the WlanInterface
class of the Managed Wifi API :
IntPtr radioStatePtr = new IntPtr(0L);
try
{
Wlan.WlanPhyRadioState radioState = new Wlan.WlanPhyRadioState();
radioState.dwPhyIndex = 0; // TODO : can change ???
radioState.dot11HardwareRadioState = Wlan.Dot11RadioState.On; // ignored in fact, according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms706791(v=vs.85).aspx
radioState.dot11SoftwareRadioState = Wlan.Dot11RadioState.On;
radioStatePtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(radioState));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(radioState, radioStatePtr, false);
Wlan.ThrowIfError(
Wlan.WlanSetInterface(
client.clientHandle,
info.interfaceGuid,
Wlan.WlanIntfOpcode.RadioState,
(uint)Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(Wlan.WlanPhyRadioState)),
radioStatePtr,
IntPtr.Zero));
}
finally
{
if (radioStatePtr.ToInt64() != 0)
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(radioStatePtr);
}
