Neil Cowbrun blogs about how easy it is to find your Wi-Fi access point in the upcoming CF.NET 1.1 Framework.
NOTE: The AdapterCollection class (part of the System.Networking namespace I presume) is only available with the upcoming CF.NET 1.1 Framework. I can't verify this because I'm still running Beta 1 (the only version that integrates with Whidbey), so they make have snuck it in since then. Let's hope that the AdapterCollection class also appears as part of the complete .NET Framework, instead of having to go through the existing System.NetworkInformation namespace. This way looks a lot less complex.
Of course if you don't want to wait for Whidbey, you can always use WMI to get to the information now. Steve Mafofsky has a post on getting WiFi information via WMI over on The Furrygoat Experience.
