Script to start and stop a WLAN card from the Linux command line.
Be the first to post a text review of WLAN Control. Rate and review a project by clicking thumbs up or thumbs down in the right column.
Now with changeable MAC addresses, configurable for more than one WLAN card (uses the first available one in the list), and your choice of interfaces to shut down when the WLAN is started. Fixed a bug or two also. The code's still as ugly as sin though...

No more hard-coded nonsense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r9 | paulglover | 2007-01-17 03:46:25 -0500 (Wed, 17 Jan 2007) | 6 lines Added a makefile for install purposes. Bugfixed problem with MAC address change sometimes throwing an error. Now format the MAC address with : between each of the 6 bytes. Changed `...` to $(...) for command output substitution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r10 | paulglover | 2007-02-06 15:13:14 -0500 (Tue, 06 Feb 2007) | 4 lines Changed MAC option to allow specified MAC, or "random" for random MAC. Changed to allow multiple interfaces. Interfaces are checked in order, and the first one whihc is available will be used. If none are available, the script exits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
