wifi.sh to show AP MAC Address

[ovacikar]

Hello,

I need to connect to a specific WIFI AP where all nearby APs have the same name, but many of them have poor quality, depending of the floor I am on, it may change.

I see wifi.sh scans the AP and creates a database file , how can I modify it to store Mac address and display it as well when using -p option?

It is also confusing that iwlist displays Cell number and MAC address on the same line

Code: [Select]

Cell 27 - Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
                    Channel:YY

Code: [Select]

rsort(qual,sid,enc,chan,type, NR)
                system ("busybox clear")
                printf "\n%s\n\n", title
                printf "    %-20s\t%5s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n", "ESSID", "Enc", "Qual", "Channel Type"
                for (l=1; l<15; l++) {
                        ++j
                        if ( j <= i ) printf "%2d. %-20s\t %4s\t %2d\t %2d\t%s\n", j, sid[j], enc[j], qual[j], chan[j], type[j]
                }
                printf "\nEnter selection ( 1 - %s ) or (q)uit", i

Well just added some code without giving too much thought and it worked great:
