Duplicate Entries in WLANGETAVAILABLENETWORKLIST ?

Vista Ultimate RTM
Atheros Wireless Adapter with Atheros Generic Vista Driver – released by Microsoft.

When I first began developing code for the Native WIFI API, I noticed that my node was duplicated. I treated this duplication as a garbage block. I just threw away the first list element and everything worked fine as far as I could tell. Today I took the software into work and noticed that my code was clipping one node off and so removed the code that discarded the first list element. Upon returning home, the code was now broken.
In the development process I have a test method I can call when needed that will dump the contents of a pointer given a bytecount and this is the contents of the calls unmanaged buffer accomplished via a Marshal.Copy.

As you can see there really are two entries for ReneeNet. I have seen other developers in these For a report dupes.

It has occurred to me that perhaps what is doing this, is that AP’s with profiles are reflected twice? Indeed the Sample is looking at Flags andWLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_CONNECTED

as well as WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_CONNECTED. I have disconnected and that made no difference in the behavior.

I have a hypothesis:

If I detect WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_HAS_PROFILE skip the next element my code will function as needed. I’m going to go try that.

Has anyone seen this or had any experiences with it?

If a scaned network has matching profiles, there will be multiple entries in the list, one for each profile, and an additional entry for the network without profile. For example, if there are two profiles for SSID ReneeNet, p1 and p2, you will see three entries.

ReneeNet - p1

ReneeNet - p2

ReneeNet

Thank you YiLu.

Then what you said is confusing. If you look at the data above, 16 bytes after the "d", it looks to me as if the order is:

ReneeNet

p1

In that snapshot, I am connected to ReneeNet and there is a profile. The second entry has nothing set in the flags field

and the SDK sample would support that too.

Indeed the software would have to detect the scanned node to include the subsequent profiles?

Because the profile name is the first field in the data structure, the order of the entries is

p1 - ReneeNet

ReneeNet

This is consistent with the above snapshot.

The wireless needs to discover a SSID in order to include the corresponding profile in the available network list, unless the profile is for an ad hoc network, or is for a hidden SSID AND the connection type is "manual" (you can specify WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_INCLUDE_ALL_ADHOC_PROFILES and WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_INCLUDE_ALL_MANUAL_HIDDEN_PROFILES flags when calling WlanGetAvailableNetworkList()).

YiLu,

I'm still having problems fitting this in and I'd like to discuss why. Here's another dump.

I've circled two bytes from the dump. From what I understand you to be saying is that the first ReneeNet element is itself a profile. The field that I am coloring red and bolding is udwflags. This dump is taken from machine bliss which is connected to AP ReneeNet. The flags field in what you are calling the profile has an accurate reflection of udwflags because Bliss does have a profile and is connected at the time of this dump.

The second element is the one that you say is the information on ReneeNet and is not a profile, yet the profile representation has live and valid flags where the scanned information has none.

Is this a clear statement of why this seems confusing? The SDK Sample shows this:

if (pNetwork != NULL)

{

// SSID

wcout << L"SSID: " << SsidToStringW(strSsid, sizeof(strSsid)/sizeof(WCHAR), &pNetwork->dot11Ssid) << endl;

// whether security is enabled

if (pNetwork->bSecurityEnabled)

{

wcout << L"\tSecurity enabled." << endl;

}

else

{

wcout << L"\tSecurity not enabled." << endl;

}

// number of BSSIDs

wcout << L"\tContains " << pNetwork->uNumberOfBssids << L" BSSIDs." << endl;

// whether have a profile for this SSID

if (pNetwork->dwFlags & WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_HAS_PROFILE)

{

wcout << L"\tHas a matching profile: " << pNetwork->strProfileName << L"." <<endl;

}

// whether it is connected

if (pNetwork->dwFlags & WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_CONNECTED)

{

wcout << L"\tCurrently connected." << endl;

}

// whether it is connectable

if (!pNetwork->bNetworkConnectable)

{

// the reason that it is not connectable

wcout << L"\tThe network is not connectable. ";

PrintReason(pNetwork->wlanNotConnectableReason);

}

else

{

wcout << L"\tThe network is connectable." << endl;

}

// BSS type

wcout << L"\tBSS type: " << GetBssTypeString(pNetwork->dot11BssType) << endl;

// Signal quality

wcout << L"\tSignal quality: " << pNetwork->wlanSignalQuality << L"%" << endl;

// Default auth algorithm

wcout << L"\tDefault authentication algorithm: " << GetAuthAlgoString(pNetwork->dot11DefaultAuthAlgorithm) << endl;

// Default cipher algorithm

wcout << L"\tDefault cipher algorithm: " << GetCipherAlgoString(pNetwork->dot11DefaultCipherAlgorithm) << endl;

}

}

So it's looks to me as if the element with the profilename in it, has the information in it that is the scanned data as the second element dwflags is not reflecting the current states at all.

Node Bliss was disconnected and then connected to ReneeNet. Usually, the connected bit in udwFlags will manifest itself in what YiLu says is the profile representation. But today when I connected the bits split where "HasProfile" remained in the first element and "connected" showed up in the second ReneeNet Elelement. This is as YiLu says, BUT this is not how these structures normally manaifest themselves.

The functionality I am working towards is to have a list of nodes that are not profiles. Connection state is needed information and there are examples here where at times the software works exactly as YiLu says and there are other times that it doesn't, from the criteria of the connected bit in udwflags.

My post of 9/22 2:32 AM UTC is of the system's automation default connection. The posts where the connected bit is in the other structure was a result of a call to WlanConnect where to ReneeNet (Unsecured for testing), where the connection mode was Discover_unsecure. When I connect in this fashion the connected bit, originally reflected in the first element and not the second, reflects in the udwflags in the second element.

What is really needed is a WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_EXCLUDE_ALL_PROFILES bit.
