Hi all. I've been digging through OS X API documentation for the
last couple of hours, trying to find info/example of how to
determine if a wifi (802.11 device) is installed and up and running.
The solution needs to be Panther friendly. Could someone throw me a
pointer?

You'll want to use Apple's AirPort API which you can get from Apple DTS.
Look for "Apple80211.framework"
Well, it depends on exactly what you're trying to detect. If all you
want to know is whether the machine is using 802.11 networking, you
can get that information via the public System Configuration
framework (SCF).
Let us know what you're looking and I can be more specific.

Thanks for the quick reply Quinn. Good to see you are still about. I
remember you from waaaay back from the days when you did the
InternetConfig stuff.
SCF is exactly what I was looking for. I googled around for it and
found this useful code example
http://cocoa.mamasam.com/COCOADEV/2001/11/2/18325.php.
What is/are the recommended System Configuration query/queries to
make to determine if the machine has an active wifi internet
connection? Are there more specific keys to be found then the docs at
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Networking/Conceptual/SystemConfigFrameworks/SC_UnderstandSchema/chapter_4_section_3.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001065-CH203-BGBEFCEH?
