Thanks Florian for your kind advice.
I am afraid I need very basic wifi scanning tools to be run in shell script
from time to time.
Already contacted Collin R. Mulliner, asking for such feature.
What I have got from the net
"
#!/bin/sh
#start network automagically
case "$1" in
start )
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
/usr/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid MY_SSID key My_KEY
# No Default Route
;;
stop )
: Do Nothing
;;
* )
echo "Unsupported Argument '$1'"
;;
esac
exit 0
"
looks promissing if preceded by with wifi networks scanning code, I am just
looking for.
Darius
