[PATCH 0/3 v6] Add WPA support to netcfg
Heres the latest in the series. After much messing around with iwlib,
I have decided to include functionality for interacting with wpasupplicant
via its control interface, rather than writing a static config and
hoping for the best. It add a quite a bit more code, but its still
relatively simple. It also adds the possibly of implementing future
functionality such as using the daemon to scan for networks and
setting wep keys and essid. This would remove a bit of code from
wireless.c as well.
This is still very much a work in progress, and comments are of course
welcome. The wording I have added to the templates is pretty much just
something I threw in to see it work, so comments on the desired wording
here are most welcome.
I have built some test images available at [1]. As I only have three
different chipsets my testing is somewhat limited, so I would like
some feedback from people that have tested on different chips that
are available in the current 2.6.25 debian kernel. I have succesfully
tested two atheros chips and an intel 3965. Unfortunately the ath5k
available in the kernel appears broken in regard to WPA support, so
I have also built an image with madwifi which is available also.
(I realise madwifi can't be included, but this is just for testing
purposes of the WPA support in netcfg) Also included is the intel
3945 and 4965 modules which can be used if firmware is manually
installed. There are also usb images at the supplied link if your
box supports booting from usb.
I have left debugging prints in the built images and also
in this patchset so that any problems that do arise, will hopefully
be a little easier to try and track down. I will clean these up
when people are happy with the functionality. Some idea of what the
team might feel as usefull in regard to logging for installation
reports would be appreciated.
With this code introduced, the netcfg udeb size is 278K with the
binary size for netcfg of 33K against 268K and 27K in current netcfg.
Plus the size of the previously discussed wpasupplicant udeb.
Timeout for wpasupplicant key exchange is 60 seconds, this is open
for discussion as to what people think is a reasonable time. I
have also increased the dhclient timeout to 25 seconds, as quite
often I would get a lease after the default 15 seconds. This
has been helpfull in my instance, not sure if by default its
neccessary.
That about covers it, look forward to hearing testing reports
successfull or otherwise. For those that do try the test images
I apologise in advance for my painfully slow upstream speeds. :)
Cheers
