EIWD [0]
________________________________________________________________________________
eiwd is iNet Wireless Daemon (iwd) without dbus. iNet Wireless Daemon aims to
replace @/wpa_supplicant while providing the following benefits:
* Simplification of network management.
* Faster network discovery.
* Fast and reliable roaming.
* Use less system resources.
* Use features offered by the linux kernel.
* Support for enterprise security methods like EAP.
* Support for kernel asymetric key rings and trusted platform modules (TPM).
* Support for multiple clients.
Configuration
________________________________________________________________________________
Ensure that you have the following dependencies installed:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ kiss b eiwd && kiss i eiwd |
| $ kiss b openresolv && kiss i openresolv |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Create a new daemon configuration file:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ mkdir -p /etc/iwd |
| $ touch /etc/iwd/main.conf |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Using a preferred text editor, add the following lines to the main.conf file
generated above:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| [General] |
| EnableNetworkConfiguration=true |
| |
| [Network] |
| RoutePriorityOffset=200 |
| NameResolvingService=resolvconf |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Adding A Wireless Network
________________________________________________________________________________
eiwd ships with a iwd_passphrase, which can be used for generating iwd network
files:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ printf PASSWORD | iwd_passphrase BSSID |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Remember to replace BSSID and PASSWORD with your respective network credentials.
Using a preferred text editor, copy the output of the command above to the
following location: /var/lib/iwd/BSSID.psk
Managed via runsv
________________________________________________________________________________
Busybox's runsv can be used to create a new managed service with the following
command:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ ln -s /etc/sv/eiwd/ /var/service |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
To start the new managed service, use the following command:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ sv up eiwd |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Tips and Tricks
________________________________________________________________________________
* To prevent iwd from continuous scanning while not connected, add the following
to your main.conf file:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| [Scan] |
| DisablePeriodicScan=true |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
* To prevent iwd from destroying / recreating wireless interfaces at startup,
add the following to your main.conf file:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| [General] |
| UseDefaultInterface=true |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
* If iwd fails to start, check to make that you have the required kernel
options:
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER
CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECB
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD5
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CBC
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DES
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CMAC
CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1
