Here is an example of this script which I found recently at http://planet.igalia.com: The /etc/network/interfaces could be like this one (being HomeNET and WorkNET two existing ESSID network identifiers): auto eth1 mapping eth1 script /root/WIFI/wldetect.sh map HomeNET HomeNET map WorkNET WorkNET iface HomeNET inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 wireless-essid HomeNET wireless-key s:mysecretpass1 open dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.1 iface WorkNET inet dhcp wireless-essid WorkNET wireless-key s:mysecretpass2 open dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 192.168.100.1 The script /root/WIFI/wldetect.sh lists the available networks and chooses one of them being in a whitelist (HomeNET|WorkNET): #!/bin/sh # Config WL_IFACE=`iwconfig 2>/dev/null | { read A _; echo $A; };` # Reset the interface ifconfig $WL_IFACE down ifconfig $WL_IFACE 0.0.0.0 ifconfig $WL_IFACE up # Search networks NETWORKS=`iwlist $WL_IFACE scanning | grep ESSID | sed -e 's/.*"\(.*\)"/\1/'` # Bring down the interface ifconfig $WL_IFACE down # Select preferred networks for NET in $NETWORKS do case $NET in HomeNEt|WorkNET) echo $NET; exit 0; ;; esac done exit 1; i? > > > *On Jue Dic 28 8:20 , 'Michael Stepanov' sent: > > * > > > > On 12/28/06, Gary <gary at eyetraxx.net> wrote: > > Michael Stepanov wrote: > > *>* Maybe somebody knows how to connect to wlan from background or command > *>* line?
