Update linux-connect.js

FinlayDaG33k commented 4 years ago

Description

Start working on getting additional data as per #92.
Once finished, this PR should return some additional information when a connection has been established.

Motivation and Context

This change will remove the need of checking the current connections "manually" in order to find out certain things like the interface used and some details about the AP.

Usage examples

wifi.connect({options}, (net) => {
  // Do things with the received information
});

How Has This Been Tested?

Only on my local machine thus far

Types of changes

[ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

Hi, do you plan to keep working on it ?

@valkheim Under all the work I have found myself in related to other projects and finding a new dayjob, unfortunately not :\

I also think it might be better to scrap this specific PR in order to work on something like we've described here: https://github.com/friedrith/node-wifi/issues/92#issuecomment-549043216
