Description**
The current plugin scans any Wi-Fi adapter that has an IP but gets stuck on the first one it finds, often leading it to select the wrong interface. In my setup, I use a Wi-Fi USB adapter on wlan1 as an SSH backbone to maintain a constant connection and leave wlan0 for scanning. However, the plugin keeps scanning wlan1, preventing wlan0 from being used for its intended purpose.
Proposed Enhancement
Enhance the plugin to allow explicit interface selection or improve its logic to avoid adapters with active IP connections, ensuring that the correct interface is used for scanning.
Suggested Solutions
Interface Selection Option
Add a parameter (e.g., --interface wlan0) or a configuration setting to specify which interface to use for scanning.
Interface Exclusion Option**
Add a feature to exclude specific interfaces (e.g., wlan1) from scanning. This would focus the plugin on wlan0, ensuring it performs as intended.
Impact
This enhancement would provide greater flexibility for setups using multiple adapters, ensuring that dedicated network roles are respected.
Environment
Plugin Version: [MainBranch
System: [As Required]
Network Setup:
wlan1: Used for SSH backbone connection
wlan0: Reserved for Wi-Fi scanning
Additional Notes
Please let me know if further details or logs are needed. Thank you for considering this improvement!
