node-airplane

Airplane

This is a node module to discover and connect to Apple Airport base stations. Currently there are no other tools to modify airport settings, and this is about to change that by providing OSS alternative, written in pure JS.

This is loosely based on airport-utils, but since that tool is a bit out of date and does not work correctly anymore (besides, it requires JVM 1.5 to run), however it was a great place to start digging into protocol and understand how it works.

Usage

General Disclaimer - the API is not even 50% complete, and the code may not work as intended and might break your airport configuration (Mine is still fine, but who knows what can happen). It`s best that this software is used on non critical hardware.

This is still TBD, but see examples section to get the idea of how this works.
