Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hello How can I find out the ssid of an inteface in AP mode (using hostapd)? I have several hostapd files and dependend on several stuff I start hostap with different config files. One difference is the ssid and at runtime I need to know which is active with some scripts. I have still not found how to get this information if the interface is in AP mode because iw dev wlan0 link does not work in AP mode... In my opinion this could be implemented in iw dev wlan0 survey dump which also prints the frecuency IF REALY not already implemented... No one does need this feature? Greetings Beat
