Sorry, forgot to define this
private String mWifiService = Context.WIFI_SERVICE;
For being able to obtain a WifiMgr instance you need a handle to a
context. When you do this within your extended activity class you have
not to worry about the context handle. You get the context with
getBaseContext() in your activity class.
