RE: How to get the ESSID of the active wifi network?

["Jos Collin-ERS,HCLTech" <joscollin hcl com>]

Hello,

I believe that "the current network" is the one which is Active.

Replace /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth1 with the object path of the ActiveAccessPoint. Then get the Ssid property of that ActiveAccessPoint.

Regards,
Jos Collin

Subject: How to get the ESSID of the active wifi network?

Hi there,

I'm looking for a bash command to get the ESSID of the current network
via d-bus.

I tried

dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
--print-reply /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth1
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.getActiveNetwork

but this one seems a bit outdate. Im using Network Manager 0.8.1.

Any help for me?

Thanks in advance

Jonathan
