We got many keys for some wifi APs around, so we put them in a delimited text file like:
ap8599:5537801570
sd6980:5202140314
wq0858:5953230520
now, when we are around, we want a script that we can tell: "connect to ap6980 if you see it around, if you need a key, take it from the text file". Called without arguments, it scans all available networks, and tries to connect to all of the ones that we have a key or that are open.
This is our connection script:
#!/bin/bash
ap=$@
i=wlan0
en=0
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Scan for wireless networks, and pretty print the quality, the essid, and if we require encryption
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
