SEE ALSO
wpa_supplicant
- It will always look for the config file in /etc/wifi-radar.conf.
- You can change that in wifi-radar
- * If the conf file does not exist, it will create it, so you must
- * always run it within a correctly permitted account (as root or use * sudo or pam)
- * Running it with the "--daemon" or "-d" option will set it to "scan
- * and auto connect" mode, which has no UI (good for running at boot * time or in the background).
- Recent version partially implements WPA-TKIP with wpa_supplicant. You
- need a running wpa_supplicant installation with a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file. Then by setting in your /etc/wifi-radar.conf file the "use_wpa = yes" option and "wpa_driver = ipw" for example, wpa_supplicant will be launched when you connect using this profile.
- But currently you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the psk,
- proto, key_mgmt etc. using wifi-radar. Your wpa_supplicant configuration file should be set and tested already. If you have different networks set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using wifi-radar.
