Filter out own wlan interface when using two wireless devices #4

In the settings page of the web app, the ssid of the first wireless interface should not appear in the list of wireless interfaces for the second interface to connect to.

Would it be best if this function read the MAC address of the Wifi network used for the hotspot & filtered the results this way?

I was thinking that since we set the ssid of the DJ-side wireless interface, we would simply filter whatever that is from the list of potential upstream connections. Using the MAC address could be tricky if a wireless device is swapped out.

Probably the DJ-side ssid should be a user setting, what if there was more than one plegger in the building?

I think we use he onboard wlan as the hotspot, so the MAC address won't change. That also solves the problem of multiple devices with the same name.
