Hey,

When I run Windows (sorry) on my notebook, I can monitor the "Signal" and 
"Noise" levels (in dBm) of the build-in wireless network card via its "WLAN 
Card Utility" window.

I want to access the same types of data (signal and noise levels on the 
wireless network adapter) from  a C++ application.

Can anybody tell me how to obtain these data from a C/C++ application ?
Which brand name, model wireless network adapter, (either in PCCard or USB) 
can provide more accurate signal and noise values?
Do you know a 802.11 wireless network adapter with external antenna 
connection option and desirably with "high" RF output power?

Thanks

Samishen Doncap
