CW8021XProfile is deprecated; what to use instead?

I'm modifying a Mac app based in part on Apple's CoreWLANWirelessManager sample code. I'm trying to build it under 10.8 and I find that everything related to CW8021XProfile has been deprecated! The docs don't give a hint of what's replaced it. What's the new paradigm? ___
