wifi

I'm 14, pardon my Python knowlege. I'm trying to make this program that will only run while I'm at school (on the school's Wifi) using an if/else statement like this: if ontheschoolwifi: Keep running the program else: close the program because im not at school and wont need it I'd like to know how to let python know how to get what wifi it is connected to. Thank you, in advance, for your help :) import subprocess if "SchoolWifiName" in subprocess.check_output("netsh wlan show interfaces"): print "I am on school wifi!" For Mac OS query the airport using os module. "/System/Library

My company is developing an iPhone accessory that requires a relatively high connectivity rate to the phone. Due to MFi limitations (USB 2 communications in HOST mode fair only around 100KBps), we're looking at hosting a WiFi ad-hoc network on our accessory, and connecting to that network with the iPhone's WiFi. This could really work out great in many regards, except we can't seem to find an (Apple-approved) way to programmatically switch the iPhone's WiFi connectivity. Ideally the app would automatically connect to the accessory's network when visible, and then re-connect to the user's

I am trying to transmit data out of an embedded Linux device over the wifi connection. I have curl and wget on the device. How would I transmit data out of the device using curl or wget ? Any pointers welcome. there is a "--post-file" option in wget: wget --post-file=filetoSend URL If it is only (key,value) pairs that you want to send then curl -d key1=value1 -d key2=value2 <URL> But if it is some file that you want to send then curl --data-binary @<file path> <URL> this is a get: curl "http://www.google.com/?hl=en&q=search" for a post you have to use the option "-d" and specify the key=value

I am working on an asp.net (or winforms) app that is supposed to detect wifi connectivity and strength. The intention is to provide the field agents with an indicator that they can connect to our main office What would I need to detect wifi connectivity? You can't do it in ASP.NET. ASP.NET is a server-side technology which renders client-side browsable code. In order to do this, you would have to develop something that is embedded in the page (ActiveX, Java, Flash, Silverlight) and even then, you would have to have the appropriate security permissions from the user to access the APIs necessary

I am using EAWiFiUnconfiguredAccessoryBrowser to detect EAWiFiUnconfiguredAccessory . The code to start the accessory search it's the following: - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; if (_accessories == nil) { _accessories = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; } if (_browser == nil) { _browser = [[EAWiFiUnconfiguredAccessoryBrowser alloc] initWithDelegate:self queue:nil]; _browser.delegate = self; } } Unfortunately it does find accessories only the first time the View loads. If I go back to the previous view and then reload the view it does not find them. I tried: recreating the browser

In the context of an Objective-C, iPhone application, I need to be able to tell whether the iPhone is connected to a wifi network, and if possible listen to changes in this state. Does anyone know how to do this? thanks, gabouy Dave Check out the Reachability sample . Gordon McCreight As others mentioned, the Reachablity sample is a good place to start, however, their answers don't spell it out enough for my tastes. Within the Reachablity sample the code is spread out and doesn't show you how to handle the simplest case. For the simplest case (not listening to changes in state) I can save you

What is the difference between mWifiManager.startScanActive() and mWifiManager.startScan() . What is the difference between active scan and passive scan ? Passive scanning listens to beacons sent by the access points. That means waiting for the beacon to be sent (usually a few seconds). An active scanning will emit probes to those APs immediately. please note that an active scan will consume more energy and as "ordinary" wifi access points broadcast their beacons several times per second, an active scan is rarely needed. e.g. requesting a list of wifi networks in reach takes approx 0.7 seconds
