Once you get the available access points list, the following code shows how to start a new connection using available access points.

void ConnectToAP(char *ifname)
{
	ifreq ifr;
	int sockfd;
 
	// Name of the interface
	strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, ifname);
	
	sockfd = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,IPPROTO_UDP);	
	ioctl(sockfd,SIOCSIFNAME, &ifr);
	ioctl(sockfd, SIOCIFSTART , &ifr);	
	
 
	// recvfrom() and sendto() operations on socket sockfd
 
	ioctl(sockfd, SIOCIFSTOP, &ifr);
 
	close(sockfd);
	return ret;
}

In the above code,SIOCSIFNAME API is used to select the access point.
