thanks josejp
hola
Today I was in Victoria Railway station in London, and I tested this wifi app ... there were about 30 APs available, and some of them did not have ESSID names, and even in the raw scan result there was not a line with the ESSID header. So the scan results were half right and half messy. Today I came up with a interim solution that if the number of Cell lines is more than the number of ESSID lines then geany opens the scan results for editing. Then one must insert ESSID:"" between the lines for Encryption key:* and Bit Rates:1*
If anyone knows how to code that with awk or sed that would be appreciated, otherwise I will have to re-code in such a way that it scans first for bssid (mac addresses) and then adds any ssid associated after.
Also I re-did swap icons features; two sets available ( i will add more colourful sets).
Added feature to highlight in password gui the saved profile of selected ssid if available.
Re-arranged menu items for ease of use.
Wifi-TrayNet and Wifi-Scanner

Latest update.
It's more informative now, and fewer back-grounded processes.
More control of hardware for wired networking.
Re-organised script for more efficient operation.
Can accommodate ip devices without ESSID: provision.
Airplane Mode now includes usb and ethernet interfaces as well as wireless ones.
EDIT~: re-uploaded. tamed curl which propagated itself. Also $int definition in wrong place.

Added some polish.
TrayNet/NetMenu, Wifi-Scanner-2 both handle non-ESSID APs.
refined resolv.conf creation. Manage wether resolv.conf.head applies, when dns=0.0.0.0 (allows auto-create by hook scripts)
refined functions flow, so fewer animated try icons, no overlaps.
tidied up hotspot function.
tidied up wpa_cli monitor function.
removed curl line for external ip.
allotted credits to coders; Misko_2083, MochiMoppel, Fredx181, Rcrsn51, Victor Ananjesky. from whom I borrowed snippets. Cheers guys!
Seems to be final.
To Do ... err??
Provide more interesting icon sets.

Hi stemsee, how many icons is the set?, what size and format, see around 37 icons in /usr/share/pixmaps and two directories. want to understand
-Wired
-Wireless
-Plane mode
-Phone or tethering
I'm right?

/usr/share/pixmaps/{icons1,icons2} these are the changeable sets for displaying signal strength and password on/off. 18 icons in each set (36. 9 for encrypted and 9 for non-emcrypted AP. Then in /usr/share/pixmaps there are 13 used icons and 24 spare, which may be used at a later revision. So 49 icons, plus 3 gtk icons, so 52 all together.
Icons in the menus can be any size but I use 24px png. 1 svg (connected.svg) size 100 for tray notification icon when connected.
I want to change all to svg icons so that text and shape and colours can be added in the form of variables....eventually.
Modes of operation
Wired - usb (android usb phone tether (will add iphone)), ethernets 1 - 8
Wireless - any selected interface/s can be changed anytime for scanning/connection etc
Hotspot - with one wireless interface or two - from any source to wireless (yes even same interface).
Airplane mode - turns on/off usb, eth, wifi and bluetooth
WPA_CLI - interactive mode - wps on commandline.
Monitor Mode - to observe/sniff wireless traffic/packets.
Change mac address anytime!
Here is an update.
Added Continuous scanning of APs shown only in tooltip.
Changed qrc (quick re-connect feature) to use existing function.
Re-arranged items in both menus.
Re-added curl for external ip address.
Updated interface names handling.
Fixed a couple bugs.

Hello zagreb999
When you say 'gui' do you mean the menu in the tray? Or the actual gui which opens when you select an AP in the top half of the menu?
1) To scan for Wifi Access Points (APs) left click (single finger tap) on the netmenu tray icon. The icon will be animated. Leave the mouse pointer hovering over the icon to see APs found in a tooltip box. To connect to a wifi AP (access point), simply right click on the tray icon, and then on the AP name in the top half of the menu.
2) A gui will open (pic1). If the AP needs a password and/or id then in the top left field just enter the password (or if eduroam enter password then your university email address (id)) in the id field and click ok. If no password is needed those fields will be read only and will not accept any input, just click ok. For normal simple use just leave default settings.
However this gui has other options for advanced users,, which may be ignored, such as using another driver (wext/nl80211 for wifi, wired for ethernet/usb with wpa_supplicant), Interface lets you select another wifi card (if available), or eth0/1/2/3/4 (enp*) if using wired driver.
The editor field is if you want to edit the config file before connecting with it to an AP.
Then there is the Static field where you have to know network config options (advanced/administrtor function).
Profiles field lists any saved profiles of APs that you have connected to before. If you select a profile then click ok, no need to enter password etc ... the profile already has all details needed to connect to the AP.
Then the 'Dhcpc editor' lets you choose and customise the dhcpcd or udhcpc configuration options. Dhcpcd will need to be installed. Udhcpcd is builtin to busybox, both use their own hook scripts, which should be on your system. For normal use just leave default settings.
Also there is the 'Change Ap' field; this lists all the APs found during the scan and if you select another one, because you changed your mind which one to join, then just click ok and the gui will close and re-open with the new AP selected. If password is needed then enter it and click ok, or just click ok.
Several of these operations are supported at a time, they are prioritised, which for normal simple operation just leave extra fields blank.
USB *T-mobile* - dongle connection, I believe is ppp. You can use 'wvdial', depending on which pup you use. I could have netmenu invoke it, or simply add the necessary heuristic code myself. But at the moment it is not possible except your dongle behaves like a wifi or android usb connection, then just select 'Mobile USB Internet' from the menu, and try it.
I hope your english is good enough to understand my explanation.
As regards imitating Frisbee or Wicd, the best I can do is to advise you to install those apps, they are their own best imitations. My app does not imitate any other wifi app on the planet ... it is as original as I need it to be, to address the short comings I have found when using those apps!
Kind regards

Some things yet to do include
1) Add code to auto-connect to saved profile APs when found during continuous scanning mode.
2) Add code to connect to iphone usb tether.
3) Add code to connect with gprs/3/4/5G usb modems/dongles.
4) Add a help file.
5) Add gettext.
6) Global icon sets.

stemsee,
Thanks for this program!!
Is the one posted above the latest version of Traynet or the one posted in the first post of this topic?
Normally if you make a new version of a program, you update the first post of the topic.
Put the new version in that first post.
It is easy for someone to get the newest version if all they have to do is look in this first post.
A version number would also help to make sure it is the latest version.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I have refined the autocon function which adds a system startup AP connection in /etc/xdg/Startup. This can be removed in two ways
1) Select an AP from menu, then when input gui opens type 'removedef' in id field and click ok (be sure password field is empty). The other way is to leave gui fields empty and click ok then again select Make Startup Ap in menu, this removes autocon from ~/Startup or /etc/xdg/Startup and default profile from /root/.wifi-connect/profiles.
There is also AutoStart on/off (toggle) in extrasmenu for starting TrayNet when X starts. It will be in /etc/xdg/Startup.

I have added a dependency checker.
Also for some distros, yad --notification needs to take place befre first scan. So changed the order.
I have also included 'ipheth' for iphone tethering along with rules. I don't have an iphone so not tested by me.
will post later.

EDIT: Just configurng a new kernel and found iPhone usb tether support!

Added routine that connects to first AP that has a saved profile, after scan. This is not ideal, but suffices for now. What should happen is that after a scan, all AP ssids are compared against saved profiles and those found would then be prioritised according to either signal strengh or user preference, then connection attempts be made for each AP until successful.
