Wlan scan user or kernel

Post by Art »

Hi Guys,
The old wlan scanning sample from 2006 that is still in the latest sdk has
two versions, one, an eboot, and the other, a prx.

What is the reason the prx is in user mode, and the eboot kernel mode?
and to biuld it into a 3.xx application, would an separate prx be required
for wlan functions? and would that prx work in user mode?

I thought it was only kernel mode functions that needed to run in a seperate prx,
but I can't work my wlan scanner in user mode, even for 1.50 kernel.
Art.
If not actually, then potentially.

thats odd. wlan should work in user mode on all firmware. even games can scan for access points aside from using existing configuration. you should build a user prx in an eboot.
