....................................................................................................................
Wifi-Connect-2017B (beta)

Connect to open/wpa/wpa2/2phase Access Points. Supports dhcpcd and udhcpc

There are 7 scripts in total plus supporting hook scripts and data file:

Wifi-Starter is the common script called when any of the desktop files is used to start the app. It shuts down the tray menu, then each script starts its own tray menu. Menu provides internet from mobile phone over usb.

Wifi-Connect is your everyday wifi connectiotrn tool. It also can start ethernet. It provides mac address editing and random mac generator, saves profiles, sets default profile to use on x startup.

Wifi-Profiles is a direct way to connect using saved profiles. Allows deleting of profiles.

Wifi-Eduroam is specifically for 2 phase security on university eduroam AP.

Wifi-Scanner uses selected interface to continuously scan available APs. Allows connection and profile creation.

Wifi-Scanner-2 uses selected interfaces (upto eight) to scan for APs and display results in tabs per interface. Allows connection and profile creation.

Wifi-HotSpot usses create_ap-master backend to allow the configuration of HotSpot AP. Supports wan, lan and bridge. Supports 2.4 and 5 ghz wavebands. Supports multi-ssid interfaces. Suports WPA and WPA2 security.

Code: Select all

## Features
* Create an AP (Access Point) at any channel.

* IEEE 802.11n & 802.11ac support
* Internet sharing methods: NATed or Bridged or None (no Internet sharing).

Re: Wifi-Connect 2016

I have two menu entries in the Internet category StemsWlan and StemsWlan+, it is right, I ask because SteamsWlan+ appears to be a smaller version of SteamsWlan.
With SteamsWlan+ once I entered values ​​for the connection to the router it appears to connect but when I try to browse on the web, I'm not able to do it, as if I were not connected.
With SteamsWlan when it start changes immediately the MAC address of wifi card, unfortunately I set the router to consent the connection only to some MAC address, accordingly I suggest to let the user decide whether to change the MAC address. Once I entered the values ​​to connect to the router and ticked the save option I pressed OK and I was able to surf on internet successfully but when I started again SteamsWlan I realized that he had not saved the values of the previous session.
When I pass the mouse over the tray-icon both tools show the ip value of my ethernet connection instead of the wifi connection.
When I right-click on the icon tray and select disconnect nothing happens and I still stay connected.

Yes, it's true nothing happens if I select "Ethernet 1" or "Ethernet 1 Disconnect" despite being connected via Ethernet with another computer.

It's all for now, work in progress. I hope I was comprehensible.

My Best Regards. :)

thanks

It does save values but not the mac address, i will change that. I will change the initial mac changer too ( but that is how I want it to work by default).

Ethernet 1 disconnect does work here!

The tray does not receive a stream of changing values, yet, the values it receives are just snapshots.

What system are you running on? and what other network apps are running?

On my system I also have iptables, dnsmasq, wkanmaker, routermaker and shareInternet installed!

However everything is working as expected on pupjibaro jessie!

Could you post a screen shot of the right menu in operation?

Hello Stemsee. Here is a gettext version of the scripts in your pet, including a translation to Spanish.

Thanks @ vimcz

It is a lesson for me!

I have decided to simplify Wifi-Connect all into one script.

Cheers @ corvus
Nice desktop!

hi @ vicmz

Here is updated (final) pet. Ready for gettexting. Great if you gettext them.
Scripts renamed to Wifi-Connect, no longer stemsewlan connect, and can be run in terminal with wifi-connect, or wifi-connect2. Hotspot and ediwifi improved and gettext ready. All provide tray icon and menu.

HotSpot requires additional packages: dnsmasq iptables shareInternet routermaker and wlanmaker, but may work without them depending on your setup!

@corvus
The reason the re-connect and disconnect didn't work is because adding the icon in the menu.

Well done Stemsee, tried Wifi-Connect tool, Connect, Disconnect, Re-Connect and Open Browser work without issues. Successfully set as default. :D

Please can you give me more explanations because I will share my internet connection with my second computer trough the ethernet connection.
Thanks. :)

Well here is a link for shareInternet-2.2.4.pet and a how to by saintless on sharing over ethernet between two PCs.
http://puppylinux.info/topic/shareinternet-224pet

After you install shareInternet (which you will need for wireless sharing I think) then run 'hotspot', shareInternet should be in /root/my-applications/ for my script to use it automatically.

In hotspot choose 'other' this is for shareInternet AppRun, the others use wlanmaker and routermaker (dnsmasq and iptables required for these two (probably)).

Then connect your devices, modiles, tablets etc ... may need to set static ip (depends on devices!)

That's ok corvus!

Other utils include hostapd and bridgeutils. I would like to find out the minimum requirements to get wlan0 to wlan1 sharing for hotspot.

Hi Stemsee, as you can see from the screenshot below the icons work, I also successfully tested "Ethernet 1" and "Ethernet 1 Disconnect" to connect and disconnect from my second computer.
Bye.

Cool @ corvus

The browser icon is missing from the package!!!

For those who don't want random mac address assignments simply leave mac address input box empty and uncheck random mac box!
For those who want a random mac address leave box checked and empty mac address input box.
For those who want regular mac address during scan but random during connection leave as is, entry filled and box checked!

Hi Stemsee, the last version works fine for me. Below is the terminal output, I don't know if the lines in which appears "command not found" and "No such file or directory" they are errors or is normal as well.

Code: Select all

root# wifi-connect

The browser icon is still missing, for info I use Slimjet-9.0.1-x64.sfs.
