wireless

I am trying to find out how I can list all of the available wireless networks in Python. I am using Windows 8.1. Is there a built-in function I can call, or through a library? Please kindly show me the code which prints the list. You'll want the subprocess module and a windows command: import subprocess results = subprocess.check_output(["netsh", "wlan", "show", "network"]) A little extra to just get SSID's. results = results.decode("ascii") # needed in python 3 results = results.replace("\r","") ls = results.split("\n") ls = ls[4:] ssids = [] x = 0 while x < len(ls): if x % 5 == 0: ssids

I am using WLAN Api i.e WlanGetAvailableNetworkList() for signal strength of wireless lan modem/USB datacard.If somebody have some sample code example or some information pls send me. fmark If you are using Python, there is sample code here . If you are using C++, the documentation provides a good example: #define UNICODE #include <windows.h> #include <wlanapi.h> #include <objbase.h> #include <wtypes.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> // Need to link with Wlanapi.lib and Ole32.lib #pragma comment(lib, "wlanapi.lib") #pragma comment(lib, "ole32.lib") int wmain() { // Declare and

How can I retrieve the signal strength of nearby wireless LAN networks on Windows using Python? I would like to either show or graph the values. fmark If you are on Windows , you probably want to use the WLAN API , which provides the 'WlanGetAvailableNetworkList()' function (see the API docs for usage). I am not aware of any python wrappers for WLANAPI.DLL so you may have to wrap it yourself using ctypes . I have a preliminary script that does this ( works-for-me ), but it may be crufty. You'll want to read the documentation to understand the meaning of all the fields: from ctypes import *

How can I get the BSSID / MAC (Media Access Control) address of the wireless access point my system is connected to using C#? Note that I'm interested in the BSSID of the WAP. This is different from the MAC address of the networking portion of the WAP. Iain The following needs to be executed programmatically: netsh wlan show networks mode=Bssid | findstr "BSSID" The above shows the access point's wireless MAC addresses which is different from: arp -a | findstr 192.168.1.254 This is because the access point has 2 MAC addresses. One for the wireless device and one for the networking device. I

I would like to get a list of the wireless networks available. Ideally this would be via some C call, but I don't mind if I have to kludge it with a system call. Even better if the required C call or program doesn't require some exotic 3rd party package. The internet seems to suggest I use sudo iwlist <interface> scan which does seem to do the trick from the command line, but I'd rather not require root permissions. I only want to see the basics, not change anything. The Wireless Tools package -- of which iwlist is a part -- also contains a Wireless Tools Helper Library. You need to include

I have written the following program to get the ESSID of the wireless network to which my Desktop is currently connected, but it is giving me errors. Can anyone help me correct the bugs? Code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <errno.h> #include <linux/wireless.h> #define IW_INTERFACE "wlan0" extern int errno; struct iwreq wreq; int main (void) { int sockfd; char * id; memset(&wreq, 0, sizeof(struct iwreq)); sprintf(wreq.ifr_name, IW_INTERFACE); if(

I am wondering if the theoretical maximum transmission range under Omnet++ (veins framework) is the same as the maximum interference distance. I want to confirm some calculations done before by another person, Last one concludes that the transmission range is equal to : 127m for Txpower = -80dbm & sensitivity = 10mW 300m for Txpower = -80dbm & sensitivity = 15.5mW 1000m for Txpower = -94dbm & sensitivity = 20mW For all calculations: path loss coeffcient alpha = 2 & frequency = 5890Mhz On my side, I get respectively 127m, 159m and 907m. I am not able to know why to much difference. I use the

I'm currently building an iPhone app for a client which will be distributed in-house. My Client has just created their Enterprises Developer account in Apple. I have created a website for the client to download test versions of the app wirelessly, through instructions given by apple here: Distributing Enterprise Apps for iOS 4 Devices . These tests have been done through my Standard account using an Adhoc profile which has their devise UDID's listed. I am now trying the deploy the app using their Enterprises account. I created the In-house provisioning file. I also created an archive of the

We've got a WinForms app written in C# that has a very custom GUI. The user is not allowed to run any other applications and the user cannot go into the OS (WinXP Pro) at all. We're planning on allowing the user to connect to available wireless networks. We're going to have to create a configuration screen that displays available networks (by SSID) and allows the user to connect. While connected we want to display signal strength. Are there any existing components that provide this capability? I haven't found anything but this . I can set the TCP/IP settings using WMI, but it's the wireless

Is there a toolkit/package that is available that I could use to find a list of wireless networks (SSID's) that are available in either Java, C#, or C for Windows XP+? Any sample code would be appreciated. For C#, take a look at the Managed Wifi API , which is a wrapper for the Native Wifi API provided with Windows XP SP2 and later. I have not tested this code, but looking at the Managed Wifi API sample code, this should list the available SSIDs. WlanClient client = new WlanClient(); foreach ( WlanClient.WlanInterface wlanIface in client.Interfaces ) { // Lists all available networks Wlan
