Hi All,

I am new to MAC OS, I have developed an application in C++ in windows for
identifying WiFi adapters and its connection related properties using Windows WiFi native API. Now I need to port the application in MAC OS.

Please tell what MAC specific API or commands shall I use to get following things done :

- To identify WiFi adapter
- To connect to WiFi adapter
- To disable the WiFi adapter
- To identify the Access points for WiFi connection

Is the linux commands work with MAC OS ? Please suggest.

Regards,
Kamakshi

Best bet is to head over to dream-in-code, personally I find it to be one of the best programming forums.
