Hi Folks,

I'm very sketchy on wireless so was cobbling together a script to do the few things I need to be done. This because the rpiZW attached to the serial ports of my hypervisors have been getting knocked off the network.

Code:

foo@pi21:~ $ svr-nmcli listIN-USE  BSSID              SSID         MODE   CHAN  RATE        SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY  *       E8:DE:27:E9:83:EA  int          Infra  8     130 Mbit/s  100     ▂▄▆█  WPA2              D6:B0:24:F4:2E:C7  --           Infra  9     270 Mbit/s  65      ▂▄▆_  WPA2              B4:B0:24:F4:2E:C7  eek          Infra  9     270 Mbit/s  62      ▂▄▆_  WPA2              C0:05:C2:69:01:29  VM3499959    Infra  11    130 Mbit/s  47      ▂▄__  WPA2              10:C6:1F:F5:0D:FC  BTHub3-GGZ2  Infra  1     130 Mbit/s  39      ▂▄__  WPA1 WPA2         42:C6:1F:F5:0D:FD  BTWi-fi      Infra  1     130 Mbit/s  34      ▂▄__  --
..ie "sudo nmcli dev wifi list --rescan yes", the 'svr-nmcli' script (less than an hour old) is..

Code:

#!/bin/bashNAM=`basename "$0"`fcp_usage (){cat<<EOF${NAM}: [ --help | -h ]${NAM}: [ wifi ] { on | off }${NAM}: [ list ]${NAM}: [ conshow ]${NAM}: [ addconn ]${NAM}: [ delconn ]EOF}fcp_nmcli (){ sudo nmcli "$@" | cat}fcp_addconn (){ [ $# -lt 2 ] && {        echo "$NAM: [ ssid ] [ password ]" 1>&2        exit 1 } fcp_nmcli device wifi connect "$1" password "$2"}fcp_delconn (){ [ $# -lt 1 ] && {        echo "$NAM: [ ssid ]" 1>&2        exit 1 } fcp_nmcli connection delete id "$1"}fcp_main (){ local  arg="$1" shift case "$arg" in        --help | -h)        fcp_usage        exit 0        ;;        wifi)        sudo nmcli radio wifi "$@"        ;;        list)        fcp_nmcli dev wifi list --rescan yes "$@"        ;;        conshow)        fcp_nmcli connection show "$@"        ;;        addconn)        fcp_addconn "$@"        ;;        delconn)        fcp_delconn "$@"        ;;        *)        fcp_usage        exit 1        ;; esac}fcp_main "$@"
What on earth is "D6:B0:24:F4:2E:C7"?

I'm "eek" and "int". Physically "eek" is upstairs. I've just installed "int" in the cellar next to the two rpiZW. Vertically both (tplink) wireless are in the same plane separated only by the ground floor. I figure "D6:B0:24:F4:2E:C7" must be real close and I'm unable to discover anything about that MAC using online tools.

It's vanished now. I did notice while I was reconnecting the rpiZW from "eek" to "int" something purporting to be a samsung galaxy device (yesterday, too busy to log that) sat between "eek" and "int" on signal strength as is "D6:B0:24:F4:2E:C7". Terraced houses btw and also a lot of transient traffic parking.

I'm hoping not to see any problems now "int" is there. Next few days will tell. On the off-chance I'm forced to look dig deeper can anyone recommend a capable usb wifi dongle for a desktop linux PC?
