## Usage

```rust,no_run

use wpa_ctrl::{WpaControlReq, WpaControllerBuilder};

const WPA_CTRL_BUILD: WpaControllerBuilder<'static> = WpaControllerBuilder::new();

let mut ctrl = match WPA_CTRL_BUILD.open("wlan0") {

    Ok(ctrl) => ctrl,

    Err(error) => panic!("Cannot open wlan0"),

};

ctrl.request(WpaControlReq::status()).expect("Successful command");

while let Some(resp) = ctrl.recv().expect("To read message") {

    //Skip messages that are not intended as responses

    if resp.is_unsolicited() {

        continue;

    }

    if let Some(status) = resp.as_status() {

        println!("Network status={:?}", status);

        break;

    }

}

```

## Usage scenarios

### Add new network

- Optionally `scan` and check list of networks using `scan_results`

- `add_network` which returns returns `id` of network

- `set_network  ssid "network name"` which specifies network's name to associate with

- `set_network  psk "WAP password"` which specifies WPA password, only usable when network

requires WPA security

- `set_network  key_mgmt NONE` which specifies no security, required to connect to networks

without password

- `select_network ` - Select network for use.

- `save_config` - Optionally to save configuration.

### Reconnect

- Optionally `disconnect`;

- Run `reassociate` to start process of connecting to currently selected network
