I'am trying to implement a program to be installed in two PCs that allow raw packet data transfer using 802.11. Well, I want to communicate with external device via Wifi interface. The device has a RS232-wlan module. And to command the device from may PC, I have to send commands and messages according to the device communication protocol. Any ideas to start ?

Many such programs already exist; why do you need to write a new one? – zwol Feb 20 '13 at 19:57

2WiFi vs. wired makes no difference, they're identical at the application level. – Mark Ransom Feb 20 '13 at 19:58

I'm tempted to give +1 for an answer that's just as vague as the question, but I can't in good conscience. Some guidance on how to use TCP/IP sockets would be appropriate, especially if it's more than just a link to the documentation. – Mark Ransom Feb 20 '13 at 20:33

Well I'am not sure about the idea of TCP/Ip sockets in this context since I need to transfert raw paquets so why using 802.11 frame format ? I think it's about using raw sockets but I don't know how to start – ARM Feb 20 '13 at 20:44

@MarkRansom I know :) if he needs a pointer, that will at least give him something to google for, but since there's so little info in the question, not sure if its even appropriate – Keith Nicholas Feb 20 '13 at 20:45

@user1955287 is there a particular reason you want to send raw 802.11 packets? – Keith Nicholas Feb 20 '13 at 20:47

@user1955287, you should have put that information into the question in the first place. It's not too late to edit and add it. – Mark Ransom Feb 20 '13 at 21:17
