I use testssid thusly:
(these are snippets from my detect.conf)
else
set INTERFACE eth1
testssid UCLA wlan
testssid karoro wlan
testssid any wlan
fi
Then further down I test more specifically:
if wlan
set INTERFACE eth1
testdhcp '*.*.*.*' wdhcp
testping 192.168.55.1,192.168.55.6 home
fi
And finally, the actual DHCP sites:
if wdhcp
testdhcp 10.1.44.* oshca
testdhcp 192.168.2.* oshca
testdhcp 192.168.55.* home
fi
This works, but my experience with WLANs is limited to only two
examples, and neither of them use WEP.
I will add mention of testssid and testreceived into the detect.conf
manpage - they are currently undocumented, as Hubert Chan notes.
Regards,
Andrew.
