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. - -The software packages involved are available from the following URLs: - - http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/waproamd/ - http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libdaemon/ - http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/ifplugd/ - -Feedback to mzjncebnzq (at) 0pointer (dot) de - -$Id$ |
