Network Discovery

[Stanley Gulavi]

Howdy y'all!

I was just wondering whether it was possible to implement a device discovery system for WiFi based networks
that would basically preclude manual setup of the network via the OS, and instead have a java application basically
find devices within range and add them to the network.

What I'm thinking of is along the lines of JSR 82 discovery service for bluetooth devices which to some extent I have used.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
