ok i have seen
this script and its similar to what i want to do except i want to select networks by signal strength and limited to a set of essid's where i work uses 5 different essids and i want to select based on strength. i have been trying to grep out the signal strength from iwlist and write the essid and strength to a table then use the table to select the highest signal however that has proved dificult as im not very good with grep and tables yet.
i have googled till my fingers have bled and cant seem to find any thing.
once i can select the network by signal strength i all ready have a script to connect on boot that can be modified very easily
EDIT: im trying to grab out the essids with the following
Quote:
ESSID=`iwlist ath0 scan | grep 'essid:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $1}'`
|
if i can get that working ill do the same with signal strength
