waifai

wai·fai is the pronunciation of the Wi-Fi word.
This is a library to interact with everything related to Wi-Fi: scan, connect, disconnect and even create hotspots.

Warning: This project goes through frequent API breaking changes and hasn't been thoroughly tested.

Currently, only Linux is supported (via nmcli), but there are plans to also add Windows support.

Usage

Minimum Supported Rust Version is 1.60.0.

fn main() -> Result<(), WFError> {
    let interfaces = WiFi::interfaces()?;
    let my_interface = interfaces.first().unwrap().clone();
    let wifi = WiFi::new(my_interface);
    
    let networks = wifi.scan(true)?; // the argument forces a rescan or loading from cache
    let my_favorite_network = networks.first().unwrap();
    let connected = wifi.connect(&my_favorite_network.ssid, Some("my_password"))?;

    if connected {
        wifi.disconnect()?;
    } else {
        wifi.create(&my_favorite_network.ssid, Some("password"))?;
        wifi.start()?;
    }

    Ok(())
}
