I put together some simple scripts to connect/disconnect to wireless networks.
This scripts use iLiad network profiles file to find your list of preferred networks. (/mnt/settings/registry/nwprofiles.xml) They will then scan for any of these networks. If they available, They it will use any WEP keys you provided the iLiad and try to connect. If they cannot connect to or find any of these networks, they will try to connect to any open network it can find.
Use is really simple. You just unzip the file and transfer it to your iLiad. Since they are .sh script files, you can run them from the iLiad interface just by "opening" them, so you don't have to run them from the shell.
There are two scripts:
- start_network.sh
- stop_network.sh
Once they run start_network.sh, you will see some new files:
- preferred_networks.txt: the list of the networks it found listed in the iLiad
- scanned_networks.txt: the list of networks it could find
- open_networks.txt: any open (unsecured) networks it could find
- last_connection_status.sh: the network it could connect to and your ip address, dns, and so forth.
If anyone has any comments, suggestion, etc; thanks!
