I want to make sure I understand your requests:
Is that correct?
@niksingh710 - checking on this issue. I'll need some input on my previous questions before I can work on this. Thanks!
I want to make sure I understand your requests:
- Add hotspot connections to the menu so they can be turned on and off using networkmanager-dmenu.
- Add an option to open a terminal to view the QR code for any wifi network.
Is that correct?
Yes, These 2 points are what m exactly talking about.
Sry for late response.
For the time i am using linux-wifi-hotspot
it uses create_ap
in to create hotspot.
Is it possible to list that entry?
@niksingh710 networkmanager_dmenu already will prompt you for which adapter to manage if you have ap0
defined using linux-wifi-hotspot
. I was able to disable and enable ap0
using nmdm. Is this what you were looking for?
@firecat53 i am unable to disable ap0
i get
and then these in
ap0
entries of ap0
is as same as the wlp
one
What i want if i create hotspot using create_ap
it get's listed in networkmanager_dmenu
in my trial of implementation i realized that this goes out of scope with the project as the project cores to Network manager.
ig this idea should be ignored.
if you think so you can close this issue.
If you click 'Disable Wifi' after selecting ap0 it will disable ap0. I know that's not a very intuitive interface, but it does work.
When I add networkmanager hotspot support I will consider if the ap0
interface from linux-wifi-hotspot can also be included.
For me, this doesn't work. Have started hotspot from linux-wifi-hotspot
and after selecting ap0
and disabling Wi-Fi, nothing happens to it.
It looks like when I select Disable Wifi
it's actually enabling the rfkill soft block which disables any wireless interfaces.
sudo create_ap --freq-band 2.4 wlp0s20f3 wlp0s20f3 testing password

Please try out the hotspot
branch and see if it works for you. I added a list of hotspots and the ability to toggle a hotspot on and off. Thanks!
Hotspot get's listed in saved connections when created by
nmcli dev wifi hotspot ifname wlp4s0 ssid test password "test1234"
Disconnecting from this is not one way have to disable wifi and enable it.
and a show qr option will be great no matter which wifi conn we are connected.
nmcli dev wifi show-password
better to give user a possibility to add entries manually to perform some action?
