Class CIM_WiFiPort
extends CIM_NetworkPort

WiFiPort is the logical representation of wireless local area network communications hardware that conforms to the IEEE 802.11 series of specifications. It embodies properties at the lowest layers of a network stack, such as the antennas used for transmission and reception, the address permanently embedded into the hardware, and the operational bandwidth of the device.

PermanentAddressstring
DescriptionstringIEEE 802 EUI-48 MAC address, formatted as twelve hexadecimal digits (for example, "010203040506"), with each pair representing one of the six octets of the MAC address in "canonical" bit order. (Therefore, the Group address bit is found in the low order bit of the first character of the string.)
