how to get wireless access point

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Hi,

Here I will tell in detail about my *problem*. In my project I
created one application which basically used to find out the access
points near the user who downloaded my application from the internet.
This application is for those who carry wireless devices like laptops
etc.What I want to do is to first find out the physical location of the
access point the user connected to may be through ZIP code or somewhat
like that.Then finding out the nearest AP the user is in I have to
locate all the access points within 200 miles from this AP.
By this I will automatically give all the AP information to the
user.Also this is usefull bcos when user is moving to some other
location he can get the APs information automatically.
So suggest me whether I need an API for this or How can I make it
programmatically.
