Package: laptop-net Version: 2.26-7 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
I wanna use laptop-net integrated with wpa_supplicant wireless configuration tool. At this time, laptop-net does not support wireless configuration like SSID to detect connection. This is wishlist for new feature 'integration with wireles configuration' and proposal for new patch. Please find attachment that is a patch for shared.sh and sample script wpacli-action-laptop-net for wpa_supplicant package. User can config /etc/network/interfaces like as; iface ath0 inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa-action /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpacli-action-laptop-net There is a script that calls laptop-net in wpacli-action-laptop-net. After user do 'ifup ath0' and launch wpa_supplicant automatically, wpa_supplicant may compete wireless configuration, then execute wpacli-action-laptop-net. wpacli-action-laptop-net script detect the status of wireless configuration and try to bring up IP configuration using laptop-net. laptop-net's bringup() calls choose_scheme(). choose_scheme() checks wireless device and existence of wpa_cli utility, then try determining a scheme using SSID. If interface is not wireless device, try arp_discovery as same as before. Users who want to auto-configure WEP and IP settings by detecting SSID can use 'guessnet' package, which support wep. But it does not support WPA/IEEE802.1x now. This proposal is alternative to guessnet. An integration laptop-net and wpa-supplicant helps users who need to use recent wireless technology and auto network configuration. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.4 Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- HIroshi Miura
