wireless connection info [need help to complite it]

[ElCamino]

been reading and learning for some time, heres what i'm working on, and would love to get some feedback and help to clean this code, also to complete the functions left. thats why i post this in the help section, please be nice with this noob.

Not bad! Only thing I could think of adding is whether or not theres any WEP connection.

[ssubirias3]

To fear1313's point this looks..... interesting. A couple of questions for you though, why do you say this is written for RoadRunner? Most of what I saw applies to your wifi adapter and that's pretty independent of your broadband connection. Also I'm going to guess you found these snippets on the web others put together since you use different variable names across the functions. Or is there a reason for this? Where did you get the values to determine what the wmi output means? For example on _weps() where did you get

For $objInstance in $objInstances
     $status=$objInstance.Ndis80211WEPStatus
     if $status=0 Then
         $weps="Enabled"
     ElseIf $status=1 Then
         $weps="Disabled"
     ElseIf $status=2 Then
         $weps="Key Absent"
     ElseIf $status=3 Then
         $weps="Not Supported"
     EndIf
Next
if StringLen($weps) = 0 then
    $weps = "Not determined"
EndIf

I think if you tweak the minor stuff including the logic pointed out in the above example, this could be pretty cool. There's other stuff, but you did ask that we be gentle, right?

@fear1313 - what do you mean by WEP connections? You want the number of wifi connections available that's provided by MSNdis_80211_BSSIList or were you thinking of something else? Besides, without the key and index what good would other WEP connections be to you? Yes, yes I know its flawed security but its not wide open for easy instant access. Maybe you can share the class and share your ideas with us?

I meant to say if the connection was WEP enabled. Typo =] Know it's useless but it just kind of seems like it belongs up there.

@ElCamino

I see that you got inspired by my example.

WiFi SSID

That's good !!

But non of the functions are returning any values when connected ?

Best is to review my example and check whare it went wrong.

Did you have values returning on your connetion ?

regards

ptrex

[ssubirias3]

@fear1313 - that's what his _weps() is trying to do, as I mentioned his logic isn't quite right just yet . But yes if 0 = WEP, 4 = WPA-PSK, etc .

.... But non of the functions are returning any values when connected ?

Thanks for the heads up ptrex! I didn't know you'd done parts of this one too. I'll be adding that to my list of code to study, you know if its from ptrex its worth having and studying!! If you change the following to = your wifi card then it'll work.... well the functions that have the correct logic will work

$wifiAdapter=IniRead(@scriptdir&'\wifi_man.ini', 'SETTINGS', 'adapter', '')

Okay, Not thinking so straight right now, I should probly go to sleep =]

[ElCamino]

thanks for looking, the "not determind" value was needed for my specific needs, thats why i put that, this was written for "RoadRunner", this program is a frontend design to control an incarpc, so this script was made with that in mind, i needed to have some labels to see the connection's info if established, autoit pass the values to this program and dispalys them.

http://www.scriptinternals.de/new/us/default.asp?WMI_MSNdis_80211_BSSIList

@ptrex

dont get me wrong but i found a vb script googling sometime back, and is the one that pulls the "ssid" and got the idea from it, took it ported to autoit, and from there made the other functions, true that they are so similar, that i was affraid to post this.

take a look at my other threat in my other forum. you can see that all works very well the way i have it. just need to finish it.once again ptrex my respects to you.
