Hi all,

I am writing a C application to find the name (SSID) of my active Internet connection on my N900. Using libconic I am already successfull finding the bearer type (WLAN_INFRA), but I can't find the right function to get the name (not ID) of my WLAN SSID.

I found a function (con_ic_iap_get_name) that seems to do the trick but I have problems using it. Anyone ideas?

Thanks.

I used a horrible trick in combination with the DBus-Glib API to get the name on demand: http://slexy.org/view/s2ZioGDRDA

However, nicolai's connectnow-home-widget uses a better trick (look at the connect_now_connection_changed function).

Hi qwerty12,
Thanks for the tip! I found the solution in connectnow-home-widget.c and modifying it for my code it now looks like this:

ConIcIap* iap = con_ic_connection_get_iap(connection, iap_id);
const gchar *iap_name = con_ic_iap_get_name(iap);

iap_name now contains the string with the name of the current SSID (although when using 3G it will shows the name of your provider).

Thanks.
