We are glad to announce the release of our new product: Advanced WiFi-Manager. Advanced WiFi-Manager is a powerful solution for WiFi networks management in Windows 2000/20003/XP/Vista. Advanced WiFi-Manager can use all ways that Windows has for WiFi networks management:

• Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) API.
• NativeWiFi API.
• Direct NDIS calls.

Another our product, WiFi-Manager, allows developers to use WZC API and NativeWiFi API, therefore it works only in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista. Though these operating systems are most popular, sometimes it's necessary to manage wireless networks in Windows 2000, Windows 2003 or Windows XP without SP2 installed. Advanced WiFi-Manager also can communicate with wireless card drivers directly via NDIS calls, this approach is the only way for Windows 2000/2003/XP operating systems.

When direct comminication with wireless card drivers is used, Advanced WiFi-Manager is able to perform the following tasks:

• Enumerate available WiFi adapters.
• Get information about WiFi adapters.
• Get information about available networks.
• Get information about current network.
• Connecting/disconnecting to networks, Open / WEP / WPA authentications are supported.
• Network profiles emulation.

Advanced WiFi-Manager allows developers to manage wireless networks in Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista via one set of API, it does not require understanding how to use WZC API, NativeWiFi API or NDIS. For instance, if you want to connect to WPA network via NDIS calls then it's necessary to know quite a lot of details about WPA authentication, understand 802.11 and 802.1X IEEE standards, WPA negotiation steps, etc.
