ok, i will explain that: SSID or "ESSID" is the name of the network. this is what you can see i your "network-manager": the name which you want to connect to.
BSSID is only for adhoc = IBSS-networks: the identifier of the 'cell'. it looks like a mac-address, but IS NOT. all routers in the same cell must have the same BSSID configured. in IBSS-networks, each router can have another SSID, only the BSSID must be the same.
IBSS is another word for 'adhoc'-mode. i think we dont need this here.
This PR is very old. Is it still valid or can we close it?
@mojoaxel @bittorf Maybe a stupid question: What is the benefit of having SSID, BSSID and IBSS in a API file? As the API file is for processing by machines, please give me one or two use cases in which these fields would be necessary.
@christian-weiss Feel free to close it!
Maybe I should add that I'm not shure about the key names. I tried to understand the different name conventions in wireless networks but got confused most oft the time. So, if anybody can bring more light in this topic or has better namens in mind, don't hasitate...
