Example

import wifi_connection

# Get the list of available network interfaces
interfaces = wifi_connection.get_interfaces()
print("Available interfaces:", interfaces)

# Get the list of available networks for a specific interface
interface_name = "wlan0"  # Example interface name
networks = wifi_connection.get_network_list(interface_name)
print("Available networks for", interface_name + ":", networks)

# Set a network profile
ssid = "MyWiFiNetwork"  # Example SSID
password = "password123"  # Example password
band = "5"  # the ssid's band that you want to connect(2, 5 or 6)
success = wifi_connection.set_profile(interface_name, band, ssid, password)
print("Profile set successfully:", success)

# Connect to a network
success = wifi_connection.connect(interface_name, ssid)
print("Connection successful:", success)

# Get the SSID of the connected network
connected_ssid = wifi_connection.get_ssid(interface_name)
print("Connected SSID:", connected_ssid)

# Refresh the list of available networks
refresh_success = wifi_connection.refresh(interface_name)
print("Refresh successful:", refresh_success)

# Get the profile of a specific SSID network
profile_name = "MyWiFiNetwork"  # Example profile name
profile_content = wifi_connection.get_profile(interface_name, profile_name)
print("Profile content for", profile_name + ":", profile_content)

# Get connection information for a specified interface
connection_info = wifi_connection.get_connection_info(interface_name)
print("Connection information for", interface_name + ":", connection_info)
