dashinet

This is a single dash script to manage WiFi Connections. It can connect to new WiFi and can manage known connections such as activating, deactivating, deleting, checking password of a ever connected (known) connection.

Dash is required because the script is a single dash script and it needs nmcli command. It is blazing first.
