Getting wireless strength signal in C++

Question

I would like to create a little C/C++ program that should be able to detect wireless APs and getting from this some infos, like ID, the strength of the signal ... encryption (open, WPA, WEP) ... stuff like this! Like airodump or network stumbler!

This code will be run in a power PC, a console (Wii).

Anyone can help me posting some examples or tutorials?

Thanks a lot!

Talk to the user WinterMute, here on Stack. He's the maintainer of devkitPro, for the NDS/Wii/Gamecube/etc. (I'm assuming you're using his toolchain and libraries...) He'll get you pointed in the right direction.

I'm working on DS programming with devkitPro, and honestly, he has an example packaged with devkitPro that's exactly this, but for the DS. He should have one for Wii as well.
