script to Auto connect to Open 802.11 wireless AP's

Contents

wifiweasel

wifiweasel v1.5 - once run this script takes control of the wireless interface, then detects and connects to strongest open wifi AP in the vicinity. Subsequently it checks the connectivity every X seconds. If the connection fails, the whole process repeats itself; this requires the timeout script below (needs to be tested with multiple AP's - might have an iwconfig essid glitch).

timeout

Added a timeout script to keep udhcpc from hanging up everything. As we all know, dhcp should not take 60sec; if it's not obtained a reply or a lease within a few seconds, you are likely not going to obtain an IP (perhaps due to range issues, mac filtering, etc).

script to Auto connect to Open 802.11 wireless AP's

wifiweasel

wifiweasel v1 - once run this script takes control of the wireless interface, then detects and connects to strongest open wifi AP in the vicinity. Subsequently it checks the connectivity every X seconds. If the connection fails, the whole process repeats itself; this requires the timeout script below (needs to be tested with multiple AP's - might have an iwconfig essid glitch).
