Hi Evan, What you are trying to do is currently not enabled in the Symbian code. It does not consider undefined access points at all. I agree that this is an inconsistency between Desktop and Symbian which was probably overlooked at the time of the implementation.
I should probably point out that the BearerAPI is not necessarily a WLAN scanner API at this stage. It is one of many feature considered for future extension work. http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-14701 provides an overview of the pending items with regards to Bearer in general. More general access to configuration options such as the MAC address etc are on the roadmap too. -- Alex >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] [mailto:qt-mobility- >[email protected]] On Behalf Of Welbourne Evan (Nokia- >NRC/PaloAlto) >Sent: Saturday, 11 December 2010 5:34 >To: [email protected] >Subject: [Qt-mobility-feedback] Undefined QNetworkConfiguration problem >on Symbian > >Hi, > > > > I need to write some code that does WLAN scanning in support of high- >performance positioning algorithm.
