Detect wifi connection on a Pocket PC

Pregunta
I am trying to programmatically detect if a Pocket PC has a wifi connection or not. Detecting any connection would probably work, as wifi will be the only possibility.
Once a connection is detected data will be downloaded from a web service.
I am developing in VB but anything in C# is fine.
On Windows Mobile there is the SystemState
class from Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status
which would work, but this is not available on Pocket PC. An equivalent would be excellent but I can't find one.
There may well be a manufactures API that could be used, but I would prefer not to be tied to a manufacturer. I am also not allowed to use anything third party, which rules out getting an off the shelf solution.
Thanks for any suggestions

Send a UDP packet to somwhere where it will do no harm and check if it errors out

In which version of PocketPC are you working?
Because I have used Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status namespace on Windows Mobile Standard and Windows Mobile Professional (PPC).
