Description Daniel Vrátil 2015-12-30 23:31:26 UTC
It would be very nice to have current BSSID in "Details" of each wireless access point (or at least active wireless connection).

This is useful when you are connected to a network with multiple APs and want to know which of the APs you are actually connected to right now.

This looks related to bug 340716. The workaround refered to (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/odnwm8/how_do_i_get_kde_plasma_networks_to_see_5_ghz/) works, but is a bit cumbersome. Showing more details (BSSID / frequency (2,4/5/... GHz)) would be very useful.

(Just realized: Another related earlier bug seems 340708).

wifi: Show frequency and bssid in the connection details

This is useful to know which access point are we connected to when
using a dual band (2,4/5GHz) wireless network on the same SSID.
