When direct comminication with wireless card drivers is used, Advanced WiFi-Manager is able to perform the following tasks:
* Enumerate available WiFi adapters.
* Get information about WiFi adapters.
* Get information about available networks.

Advanced WiFi-Manager allows developers to manage wireless networks in Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista via one set of API, it does not require understanding how to use WZC API, NativeWiFi API or NDIS. For instance, if you want to connect to WPA network via NDIS calls then it's necessary to know quite a lot of details about WPA authentication, understand 802.11 and 802.1X IEEE standards, WPA negotiation steps, etc.
