Overview

Retrieving WLAN MAC address in S60 3rd Edition, FP1 with WLAN Info API.

Description

WLAN Info API, part of the Extensions plug-in package for S60 3rd Ed, FP1 SDK, contains Publish & Subscribe keys with a MAC address for the WLAN interface. The wlaninternalpskeys.h header file contains the required P&S category and key information:

    const TUid KPSUidWlan = { 0x101f8ec5 };
    const TUint KPSWlanMacAddress = 0x00000001;
    const RProperty::TType KPSWlanMacAddressType = RProperty::EByteArray;

However, the MAC address retrieval works only when WLAN is turned on. To find out the MAC address even with WLAN turned off, see Retrieving WLAN MAC address (applies to all S60 3rd Edition devices).
