@buhman I have been using wpa_cli for a while, and it's working great! But now I have hundreds of networks, and I have a hard time finding the network number associated with the ssid that I want to connect to. Is there any way that I can search for a network, or select a network, based on its ssid?
For example, imagine the following:
> list_networks
network id / ssid / bssid / flags
0 jumjee any [DISABLED]
1 TG any [DISABLED]
2 AlphaBeta any [DISABLED]
3 the wand any [DISABLED]
4 DRINK ALL CITY COFFEE any [DISABLED]
5 StellarPizza any [DISABLED]
6 HUB any [DISABLED]
<many more networks...>
125 Tullys Free Wi-Fi any [DISABLED]
> select_network 75
OKwhere network 75 is a network called "foo" (where the ssid is "foo"). It's very hard to find the network number, especially when list_networks seems to limit its output to 125 networks. Is there a command, or script, that I can run that will do something like select_network foo? Or even something like find_network_by_ssid foo and will return "75"?
Beia
@Lukeswart That 125 limit sounds awful, have you reported these issues to hostap yet? That surely sounds like a bug, and moreover I agree that the requirement for associated numbers instead of SSID seems like very poor UI design.
My wireless interface does not get assigned an IPv6 link local address (which I am guessing should never be the case). I get to see the correct link-local once in a while but it vanishes after a reboot or network restart. I am using wpa_supplicant with nl80211 driver. I can connect two devices using p2p (wifi direct) and I wish to be able to ping one from another using the link-local IPv6 address.
@modulitos To find the number of a given ssid, you can grep for it in non-interactive mode like so wpa_cli list_networks | grep ssid.
Do you have a wpa_cli and p2p_cli that work (compiled) for Android 5.0 and later? Binaries that work on 4.4 return: "only position independent executables (PIE) are supported."
