I am very new to Win7 and WMI. Please advice me where to see for active access point from WiFi and how to get ssid/rssi for each access point.

I have use:

ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass("root\\WMI", "MSNdis_80211_ServiceSetIdentifier", null);          
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher1 = new ManagementObjectSearcher(@"root\wmi","SELECT * FROM MSNdis_80211_BSSIList");

but I got 0 results. Is this class support Win7? Anybody can help?
