Abstract
Interfaces between wireless network hardware and software can provide for wireless-specific functionality and allow software to take advantage of the unique capabilities of a wireless network. These interfaces can perform static queries, dynamic queries, or a request to set attributes. Static queries can be information which does not change depending on the wireless connection, dynamic queries will attempt to obtain information based on the current wireless connection maintained by the hardware, and setting attributes allows the software components to change parameters within the hardware components. Additionally, callback functions are provided to allow the wireless network hardware to alert software to key events.
