After digging around a little, I was able to put together the code to programmatically connect to an open network/AP. For some reason, specifying the SSID causes the code not to connect.
WifiConfiguration wifiConfig = new WifiConfiguration(); wifiConfig.BSSID = "00:0C:41:F5:B0:08"; wifiConfig.priority = 1; wifiConfig.allowedKeyManagement.set(KeyMgmt.NONE); wifiConfig.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.TKIP); wifiConfig.allowedAuthAlgorithms.set(WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm.OPEN); wifiConfig.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE); wifiConfig.status=WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED; WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE); int netId = wifi.addNetwork(wifiConfig); wifi.enableNetwork(netId, true); I am curious about the behavior of the network activity that I am seeing. The N1 is constantly broadcasting Probe Requests. The Access Point is sending out Probe Responses. When I enable the network with the SDK, the N1 sends out a Probe Response with the SSID of the AccessPoint (probably determined from the Probe Response). The N1 then sends out an Association Request to the AP and negotiates the connection. Why can't I initiate an Association Request to the AP prior to receiving the AP Probe Response? Basically, I would like to already have the AP defined in my WifiConfiguration and be sending Association Requests prior to being in range of the AP. Is this possible or am I constrained by the protocol? Thank you very much! Dan On Feb 1, 2010, at 8:21 AM, Daniel Rolph wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I am using a Nexus One with 2.1 SDK.
