Question about wifi support for the slim

Hey,

I have some plans to do some coding with pspsdk, but I was surfing the header files and examples last night and it seems that the API header for wifi support is rather thin. Does it work to send/recv data through wifi using the sdk? Is there full support for wifi on the slim psp through the pspsdk or only a subset?

Best Regards,
Nergal

Full functionaility.

Great! Thanks, guess I was bit to fast surfing through the headers.
(The documentation hadn't yet been downloaded/compiled)

You won't find much because other than initializing the wifi, it uses plain sockets. So you look at the example code for how to init and connect to the access point, then do everything you want to do via sockets.

I saw that there are functions like "sceWlanGPSend" but not in the API header file for "wlan". If I would like to control sending and recieving through the Wlan interface, I still have to use sockets? But that would only let me use the wlan device if there already exists an network connection to som AP...
I want to control the connection myself, perhaps that part isn't possible on the slim version?

That level of control isn't needed for most apps, so you'll probably have to figure it out yourself. Not going to be much if anything in the way of examples for that. :)

But I've googled some application that performs access point finding (wifi sniffing), they must have implemented some low level wlan access? Too bad they didn't release sources with their applications.

That's not something we deal with here. There are probably some threads, but I don't know if they'll have what you're looking for. Use the Search at the top of the page, set the search term to "sniffer" and the forum to search to the PSP forum. That does return a few hits. If it's nothing you can use, you probably won't get help here.
