[Bug]: Linux Disconnect Not Working

[SuspensionPoint]

Expected behavior

The ReadMe specifies that you must set the interface to null at least.

It then shows that once you set the wifi iface to null, you can then call disconnect() method.

On Linux, I'm setting the iface to null, then calling disconnect on the wifi object.

I expect that the network will be disconnected.

Current behavior

Instead, whenever I'm calling disconnect() on the wifi object I get the following error:

Error: No interface specified.

Does this not work if an interface was set to null? I cannot find any mention of this in the readme or issues.

Thanks

Which are the affected features

• node API
• CLI

Which is your operating system?

Linux

Environment

Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

Version of node-wifi

2.0.14

Steps to Reproduce

Follow the read me example, then try calling the disconnect method.

Solutions

Perhaps I'm missing a step, but I'm a little lost here.

It seems like the disconnect method would be able to gather the iface of the currently connected network, but I'm not sure.

Sorry for the delay. Can you write the code you are using?

Hey there, sorry for the slow response. I did eventually fix this issue. I'm trying to recall what the exact fix was.

I believe I was encountering an issue where when a new network connection was established, for some reason the iface for the this.wifi instance wasn't being updated to use the new connections iface.

Whenever the new connection was made, I manually would call wifi.init() and pass in the iface for the new connection.

I have the same problem on Debian 10.
