2.4 ghz WiFi ID

[tazntex]

Hello,
I have been searching the forum for suggestions to be able to use a pic to connect to a wifi module and ultimately just broadcast an id that I could see in the windows wireless network. Is this possible or would this require "C" programming? Thanks for the suggestions.

Anything here give you some ideas?

Thank you Mackrackit, you have been very helpful. I have tried the live search prior to posting must be my wording. Again, many thanks.

I ordered the MRF24WB0MA with the daughterboard to play with. I thought it would come with more documentation that just the pinout of the board. After seeing a 2009 post on here about this same module that had no replies this is not looking to good.

The MRF24WB0MA is a very basic radio module with some encryption hardware.
It does not have a TCP/IP stack built-in, and requires the use of Microchip's TCP/IP stack that is only available in C.

Using it with PBP will be very difficult.

Thanks Darrel, well thats money down the drain. What would you recommend for something I can see on the pc wireless network that I could broadcast an ID every so often? That would be pretty cool for a fox hunt. But thank you for clarifying the dreadful "C" issue, I assumed automatically that because it was from Microchip....well you now know the rest of the story. Thanks again.
