Identification of nodes

[mitar]

One correction. You should not assume or even care about MAC addresses of interfaces. What you should use is BSSID. So maybe BSSID is based on the MAC address of the WiFi interface, but it is not necessary.

So for each node look at its hostname in core.general.hostname and list of its BSSID in core.wireless.interfaces. That is what you get in survey scans from other nodes.

Also radio0 corresponds to phy0 (@kostko will fix this so that there will be only one same string, not both radio and phy), not to wlan0. Each physical interface (phy0) can have multiple virtual SSIDs. You get a scan per physical interface. Virtual interfaces on the same physical interface share the same channel.

So to identify the node, you should simply use all BSSIDs on all virtual interfaces.

But then at some point you will have to use them based on the frequency/channel as well.
