Then yes, I can confidently say this will probably take longer than a week. The first task would be to port the Net-SNMP agent onto Windows CE. I don't recall any mention on the lists of anyone trying this before (and I'm a Unix man, so don't have a feel for how different Windows CE is from other versions of Windows). That makes it difficult to comment as to how straightforward this would be, or how long it would take. Then you'd need to work out how to retrieve/update the wireless information from the underlying O/S. That's often the hardest aspect of implementing a new MIB. Then it's just a matter of generating suitable MIB template code (which can be done automatically using 'mib2c') and inserting the appropriate API calls to retrieve/update the necessary information. If you want to implement the standard IEEE802dot11-MIB, then you'll also need to link this in with the IF-MIB code (since the dot11StationConfigTable is indexed by ifIndex, so effectively augments the main ifTables). I have to say that this probably isn't the easiest starting point for getting into SNMP development! > Is there a way i can get > an Net-snmp system to work on this without creating an agent or MIB. You will definitely need an agent, since this is the program that you would query to get information out, or update the settings. If you don't have an agent, then you can't talk to the box. (At least not using SNMP). If you have a script or command that would display the information that you're interested in, then you could perhaps use the "extend" mechanism to return this data in a fairly generic format. That might be slightly easier. But you'd still need to port the basic agent to Windows CE. > If anyone has an idea about it please do reply. > I know MS provides a SNMP agent but i could not find > the related MIB supporting 802.11 for it. Have you tried asking Microsoft whether this is already supported? A quick search for 802.11 MIB information seems to indicate that they might have something suitable already (e.g. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms796356.aspx) But you'd need to talk to Microsoft to find out for definite.
