Gets the Basic Service Set ID (BSSID) of the Wi-Fi access point.

Parameters

nm_access_point_filter_connections ()

GSList *
nm_access_point_filter_connections (NMAccessPoint *ap,
                                    const GSList *connections);

Filters a given list of connections for a given NMAccessPoint object and return connections which may be activated with the access point. Any returned connections will match the ap 's SSID and (if given) BSSID and other attributes like security settings, channel, etc.

To obtain the list of connections that are compatible with this access point, use nm_remote_settings_list_connections() and then filter the returned list for a given NMDevice using nm_device_filter_connections() and finally filter that list with this function.

Parameters

ap

an NMAccessPoint to filter connections for

 

connections

a list of NMConnection objects to filter.

[element-type NMConnection]

Returns

a list of NMConnection objects that could be activated with the given ap . The elements of the list are owned by their creator and should not be freed by the caller, but the returned list itself is owned by the caller and should be freed with g_slist_free() when it is no longer required.

[transfer container][element-type NMConnection]


nm_access_point_connection_valid ()

gboolean
nm_access_point_connection_valid (NMAccessPoint *ap,
                                  NMConnection *connection);

Validates a given connection against a given Wi-Fi access point to ensure that the connection may be activated with that AP. The connection must match the ap 's SSID, (if given) BSSID, and other attributes like security settings, channel, band, etc.

Parameters

ap

an NMAccessPoint to validate connection against

 

connection

an NMConnection to validate against ap

 

Returns

TRUE if the connection may be activated with this Wi-Fi AP, FALSE if it cannot be.


nm_access_point_get_hw_address ()

const char *
nm_access_point_get_hw_address (NMAccessPoint *ap);

nm_access_point_get_hw_address has been deprecated since version 0.9 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use nm_access_point_get_bssid() instead.

Gets the hardware (MAC) address of the access point.

Parameters

ap

a NMAccessPoint

 

Returns

the hardware address of the access point. This is the internal string used by the access point and must not be modified.
