[Question] check if wifi connected

[biboc]

Hi,

I set the configuration of 7688 to connect wifi to another router (B). How can I check that the board is really connected to B? (from CLI)
I know the board is connected because I see it on B dashboard but I need to know from the board.

Also, it is very slow to connect to another router (around 20secs), is it normal?

Cheers,

there is currently no way to tell via cli and 20s is the timeout of the cli tool to verify if the station assoced.

Thanks for your answer.
Is there another way then? Is it planned to add it in the next release?

you can very easily modify the ap_client tool to add this feature. when you have a patch ready post it please so others can use it aswell

I see, I need to use this command: iwpriv apcli0 show connStatus ? So I need to edit the iwpriv function in ap_client.
Thing is the output goes not on terminal, it goes to some logs and I don't see how to get them from ap_client, any idea?

as i replied earlier, the easiest way is to patch ap_client.c

Yes I know, I'll ad a command to ap_client to call this function because IMO "show connStatus" is the only way to check if ap_client is connected, right?
I'll try but I'm afraid that I won't get the output when I'll call the ioctl, don't you think?

Ok check_assoc may be much easier
