As part of the wireless test suite, I am writing a test script for the association process. Basically you write a configuration file with the info on some essids; the script parses the file and tries to associate to each of the APs in loop.<br>
<br>The only drawback is that the script kills NetworkManager, so it does not test all the components involved (only firmware and driver).<br>I suspect it is possible to send dbus-messages to NM asking for it to associate, and then listen to the bus and wait for an answer.<br>
<br>My question is whether this mechanism is documented somewhere.<br><br>Comments in the idea are also welcome, of course.<br>Any help you be appreciated. Thanks!<br><br>--<br>Ricardo Carrano<br>
