I am trying to expand and improve on WIFI management functions which currently are limited, and don't always work.
At this point, I am looking for information about specific functions performed by WifiSerivce and, to a lesser extent, WifiMonitor and WifiStateTracker. I would think someone knows the answer to these questions and that related to permissions. I did not think this was a big deal. By the way, I have read carefully (to the best of my ability), several times, the documentation on all the WIFI related APIs and classes in the SDK. They do not allow the fine grained control that WifiService, WifiStateTracker, and WifiMonitor allow. I have also experimented using WifiLayer. It is OK. It provides an API for some of the functions I am interested in implementing (and already have partially implemented). Initial testing of AccessPointState has been going OK too. Again, I would not think that the information I am looking for is, or should be a big secret. Thanks.
