Wi-Fi

Introduction

The Wi-Fi libraries provide support for configuring and monitoring the ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi networking functionality. This includes configuration for:

Station mode (aka STA mode or Wi-Fi client mode). ESP32-S3 connects to an access point.
AP mode (aka Soft-AP mode or Access Point mode). Stations connect to the ESP32-S3.
Combined AP-STA mode (ESP32-S3 is concurrently an access point and a station connected to another access point).
Various security modes for the above (WPA, WPA2, WPA3, etc.)
Scanning for access points (active & passive scanning).
Promiscuous mode for monitoring of IEEE802.11 Wi-Fi packets.

Application Examples

The wifi directory of ESP-IDF examples contains the following applications:

Code examples for Wi-Fi are provided in the wifi directory of ESP-IDF examples.

In addition, there is a simple esp-idf-template application to demonstrate a minimal IDF project structure.

Send raw ieee80211 data.

Attention: Currently only support for sending beacon/probe request/probe response/action and non-QoS data frame

Parameters

ifx – interface if the Wi-Fi mode is Station, the ifx should be WIFI_IF_STA. If the Wi-Fi mode is SoftAP, the ifx should be WIFI_IF_AP. If the Wi-Fi mode is Station+SoftAP, the ifx should be WIFI_IF_STA or WIFI_IF_AP. If the ifx is wrong, the API returns ESP_ERR_WIFI_IF.
buffer – raw ieee80211 buffer
len – the length of raw buffer, the len must be <= 1500 Bytes and >= 24 Bytes
en_sys_seq – indicate whether use the internal sequence number. If en_sys_seq is false, the sequence in raw buffer is unchanged, otherwise it will be overwritten by WiFi driver with the system sequence number. Generally, if esp_wifi_80211_tx is called before the Wi-Fi connection has been set up, both en_sys_seq==true and en_sys_seq==false are fine. However, if the API is called after the Wi-Fi connection has been set up, en_sys_seq must be true, otherwise ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG is returned.
