Hello

I asked about this last year and learnt it wasn't supported at that time.
Has any progress been made with regards adding this capability?

Thanks

nope still not supported. dswifi only supports passive scans for APs - it does not send probe requests. It only mines data from beacons frames sent by the AP. It may be possible to clone Wifi_ConnectAP from the dswifi source (wifi_arm9.c). instead of looking in the found AP list you could build it manually (maybe read it from a file). the hard part would be that you would need to find all of the data the scans normally find for you. like the bssid, mac, and channel - among others. it would be troublesome to set up. a better solution would be to add proper active scanning for APs.
