How to connect to WiFi?

Question

I'm trying to connect to WiFi network with python and haven't found any way so far...

from wireless import Wireless

wire = Wireless()
wire.connect(ssid=name,password=pass)

and no luck

'Exception: Unable to auto-detect the network interface.'

Another attempt:

import winwifi


name='xxxx'
password='11111'


try:
    winwifi.WinWiFi.connect(name,password)
    print('t')
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

No error, no nothing, but not connecting and still nothing.

May need more information. What's your computer model, wireless card, Windows version, etc. // Can you connect to Wi-Fi manually? — user202729, Oct 22 '21 at 23:55
What operating system are you targeting? Something like networking is going to be inherently OS-dependent. — Jonathon Reinhart, Oct 22 '21 at 23:55

import os

def createNewConnection(name, SSID, password):
    config = """<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
<WLANProfile xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v1">

    <SSIDConfig>
        <SSID>
            <name>"""+SSID+"""</name>
        </SSID>
    </SSIDConfig>
    <connectionType>ESS</connectionType>
    <connectionMode>auto</connectionMode>
    <MSM>
        <security>
            <authEncryption>
                <authentication>WPA2PSK</authentication>
                <encryption>AES</encryption>
                <useOneX>false</useOneX>

        </security>
    </MSM>
</WLANProfile>"""
    command = "netsh wlan add profile filename=\""+name+".xml\""+" interface=Wi-Fi"
    with open(name+".xml", 'w') as file:
        file.write(config)
        os.system(command)


# function to connect to a network
def connect(name, SSID):
    command = "netsh wlan connect name=\"" + name + "\" ssid=\"" + SSID + "\" interface=Wi-Fi"
    os.system(command)
