Well, I’ve been adding things to the lib left and right today, check out The working version (wifi_lib_test_.nds) [and of course the wifi_lib_test_.ds.gba version for whoever needs it]
Presently additions as of the time of this post include DHCP support (yay!) and the ability to connect from the WFC information in the firmware. I’m not done yet; just taking a break for the present time, so more will be done soon (see [this page on the wiki] for an up-to-date breakdown of what I’m working on.)
I might also add that some of the inner workings of the lib have been *greatly* improved since the last time I’ve talked about it, so overall the lib should be faster and easier to use :)
Ok, time to get back to work…
[Update, some 3 hours later: Eh, I'm not going to be completely done tonight; spent some time mucking around with DHCP on a crazy AP. Tomorrow though - it's close enough]

I think you should also realese the source so people can builld wifi apps with it.

swimgod: thanks…. I guess?
davos1: I guess you’ve been in the dark or something? Of course the source is going to be released, but even before saying that I should mention that you don’t *need* the source to make apps that use it. In fact it’s a ton easier to make apps using just the lib. Anyway, the release is coming, it’s coming soon, it’ll be a full source release with everything everyone seems to want (well, just about). I’m just as sick of this project carrying on as all you are :P

Damn you crazy AP! Tell us who it was so we can all jump him! hehe

I’ll decline to say who, but if you were paying attention in #dswifi, you’d know by now :P

David R: Um, heh, *guilty look*

RSS works now in Safari, thanks mate! BTW would it be ever possible to implement WPA into your Lib? I read it’s more secure than WEP so I use WPA, I understand it’s more of a program/lib add-on or something though? Sorry I don’t know much about this stuff.
Could you also some how make a menu to show the mac address of your DS, I run the firmware reader once you made and tried to follow the guide but I couldn’t find my mac address lol, cheers. Great work so far!

Bucko: heh, I didn’t even do anything to RSS :D
I’m not going to put WPA in this revision but I’ll look into it after this one is out.
I can put an info page in the wifi test app to show the mac address somewhere, yeah.

I reset Safari and it seemed to sort it self out lol. Ah thanks for looking into them when you get the time.

Stephen: If Codename Amanda is what I feel it might be, you might be able to make some use of my code. Specifically, the leaf plugin interfaces may need a little work, but the structure is there, and is portable between Win32 and Unix.
Tell me if I’m way off-base.

You mean we can link directly to the lib tests? Where are the headers?

nedar:
no, you can’t link to the lib tests. However, the dswifi library is indeed a library and is distributed in standard .a library format – see previous releases for examples.
The current version isn’t released yet but it will be when I’m satasfied that it’s ready.

Hey so I’m getting 100+%’s is that right? thats like 30% more than the last version when looking for AP’s! Anyways still love all the work with this tedious work you’ve been doing but, keep it up. Oh and THANKS.
