WPA controller

Usage

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.into_buffered(),
    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;
    }
}
