Ability to check how long time the found devices work - Beacon frame #365

Closed olekstomek closed 2 years ago

olekstomek commented 2 years ago

In the Beacon frame that is sent by devices via WiFi, information is sent how long time the device works. The field is 8 bytes long and the value shown is expressed in microseconds. image This can be useful additional information about found WiFi networks in application. More details you can read here.

Note that some devices (e.g. managed by ISP operators) may have their timestamp always set to 0, so then you should also handle this case.

All current contributors are busy with other work. When we don't have an opportunity or time to implement a feature, we encourage developers to fork the project and become a contributor. It would be great to add new contributors to this project.
