Wifi wpa_supplicant - adding a bssid?

hi,
@home I got a multi AP network with the same ssid, but different bssids - can I add to the wpa_supplicant an entry for a preferred bssid(mac) ?

i could make some tests with the wireless Client Configuration file (= /var/ipfire/ethernet/wireless) but where is the managing script?

Hey and welcome,

you will find the script that launches wpa_supplicant here:

https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=src/initscripts/system/wlanclient;h=b32a4cb4acada5a7fc1c96d589c7b353ae2fc6b0;hb=HEAD

On your system it is in /etc/init.d/wlanclient.

You can add the BSSID field and add it to the CGI as well. Please send a patch so that we can integrate your efforts into IPFire:

sounds like work, I will try my best.
