I need to query for a list of available Wireless Access points. I only need their SSIDs.
The App is currently .Net CF 2.0, but it’s not a problem going with 3.5 if we have to.

The list of ‘nearby’ APs is retrived eitehr through NDIS or WZC, depending on what your NIC driver supports. Both are somewhat well documented in MSDN, but they aren’t fun to wrap. OpenNETCF’s SDF contains a wrapper that looks at both, depending on your NIC’s support.
It’s accessible via the OpenNETCF.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface‘s GetAllNetworkInterfaces method in the newest SDF 2.3 (actually it’s been there since 2.2).
