I'll share the code, but it has some caveats:
- I made this for my laptop and my use cases.
- I hate automation.
- It's not very good.
- The GUI gives no feedback after you select the access point.
Feel free to turn it into anything you'd like.
Attached is a man page for wifi(1), the wifi script itself, and wifi-gtk
which makes use of the wifi script. Run it as 'doas wifi-gtk -C $HOME/.wifi',
where $HOME/.wifi is your wifi config (see the attached man page).
