-Sorry, no real README yet.
-
-Just a short intro:
-
-What is it? waproamd is a Linux WLAN roaming daemon for IEEE 802.11b
-cards supported by a driver with wireless extension API. It may be
-used for configuring WEP keys according to the WLANs available. It is
-intended to be used in conjunction with ifplugd, which configures your
-network automatically whenever an association with an AP suceeded.
-
-waproamd is intended to be used together with ifplugd.
-
-A short overview on the daemons involved and how they work together:
-
- waproamd: when not associated waproamd does periodic scans and tries
- to associate to a sensible AP by running a script in
- /etc/waproamd/scripts
-
- (built from waproamd-xxx.tar.gz)
-
- aeswepd: A daemon for doing AES based WEP rekeying, it is called by
- /etc/waproamd/scripts/default if
- /etc/waproamd/keys/[AP-MAC-ADDRESS].aes exists. It implements an
- algorithm which is not standardized and only compatible with APs
- using aeswepd as well. aeswepd may be used without waproamd. The
- opposite is true as well.
-
- If you create a root-owned directory /var/lib/aeswepd all running
- aeswepd instances will save the current wep keys to a file therein
- which may be accessed via "aeswepls".
-
- (built from waproamd-xxx.tar.gz too)
-
- ifplugd: if an association succeeded ifplugd runs ifup for the
- device (and ifdown if it is lost again)
-
- (built from ifplugd-xxx.tar.gz)
-
-waproamd will not issue scans while associated.
-
-The algorithm to select an AP if multiple are available is rather
-simple: The first AP which has a script named by the AP MAC address
-available in /etc/waproamd/scripts/ is seleted. If none has suh a
-script /etc/waproamd/scripts/default is run for the first AP.
-
-waproamd requires libdaemon.
-
-waproamd is tested with hostap 0.0.3 only, with other drivers
-ymmv. The host roaming feature of newer hostap releases might be
-useful, however it is broken on 0.0.3 and not required by waproamd.
-
-Update: waproamd works fine with 0.0.4
-
-waproamd requires a driver supporting the wireless extension v15 or
-newer. Drivers supporting the iwevent ("wireless events") API are
-useful, however not required. Unfortunately support for this API
-cannot be detected automatically. Use the "-e" switch to disable it.
-
-waproamd requires a driver supporting scanning (iwlist scan) for
-detecting the networks available.
-
-There is no need to compile, nor to install aeswepd if your interest is
-limited to waproamd only. See "configure --help" for more information.
-
-no manpages, no further documentation included. Read the source, luke!
-
-waproamd relies on autoconf/automake for source code configuration and
-building.
