The core goal of +the project is to optimize resource utilization: storage, runtime +memory and link-time costs. This is accomplished by not depending on +any external libraries and utilizes features provided by the Linux +kernel to the maximum extent possible. The result is a self-contained +environment that only depends on the Linux kernel and the runtime C +library. + +To run iwd on startup, run (as root): + chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.iwd +then add this to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local: + if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.iwd ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.iwd start + fi + +Before running iwd, remove all configuration in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf +and ensure no other connection daemon is running. +e.g. run `netconfig' and choose "loopback" + +iwd's command-line client is started as `iwctl' +An example session: + + $ iwctl + [iwd]# station wlan0 scan + [iwd]# station wlan0 get-networks + ... + [iwd]# station wlan0 connect <your-network> + [iwd]# exit + + +(iwd can also be used as a backend for NetworkManager but this is +considered experimental) |
