I'm trying to use the sceNetGetLocalEtherAddr() to get the local PSP MAC address. The API only works after the program has made a successful connection to a AP. The API fails if the program haven't made a successful connection to the AP and returns 0x80410180. Anyone know what the error code means? BTW, is there anyway to obtain the local MAC address without having physically made a connection to a AP. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Vampire! The sceWlanGetEtherAddr api it's not included in the standard pspsdk library, which means I will need to load a .prx module and patch it my myself. The problem is I don't even know which prx contains this API and also not sure how to patch it. Any hints would be appreciated.

you don't have to load the sceWlan_driver (wlan.prx) because the kernel loads it by default...

The standard pspsdk library does not contain this API. It gives me an error of "undefined reference to sceWlanGetEtherAddr" when I tried to compile/link my program. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

so write the necessary .S and .h files and create (or just patch) a Makefile.am.

> I checked other .S files, but don't know how to get the entry point numbers and NIDs for WLAN module and its APIs.
Code:
   STUB_START   "sceWlanDrv",0x40010000,0x00030004
   STUB_FUNC   0x93440b11,sceWlanDevIsPowerOn
   STUB_FUNC   0xd7763699,sceWlanGetSwitchState
   STUB_FUNC   0x0c622081,sceWlanGetEtherAddr
   STUB_END
or for the single entry
Code:

   STUB_START   "sceWlanDrv",0x40010000,0x00010004
   STUB_FUNC   0x0c622081,sceWlanGetEtherAddr
   STUB_END

(notice the change for the count)

NOTE: you can get most names/nids from the database:

Update to the latest SDK version from SVN (svn://svn.pspdev.org/psp/trunk/pspsdk) you can also access that from http to browse it.

Samples get installed in /usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/samples
