#acl FreaknetGroup:read,write,admin,delete,revert All:read = Because BASH WIN = <> Well, this is not a real connection manager, but a bunch of notes and scripts. Eventually I managed to use just wpa_supplicant and a little script to check that the network is online (more to come) Why? Because Network Manager SUCKS A LOT, pick my ASS every time I do something by hand, it's a fucking bloatware, it's bugged, it's fucking SLOW and I HATE IT Because SYSTEMD IS SHIT Because PULSEAUDIO IS SHIT Because AVAHI IS SHIT Because resolveconf is A PILE OF SHIT Because SYSTEMD IS SHIT, AGAIN Because Connection Manager is a great command line tool but have some bugs Because the network manager provided by Enlightenment is lovely but have some bugs Because SYSTEMD IS SHIT Because WHY have a fucking bloatware when I can connect to any wifi network with just a bunch of commands from a shell? WHY?!? {{attachment:rageglitch.gif}} == What I use NOW == === Use of wpa fucking supplicant === You need to set /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf as follow. EXAMPLES {{{ ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant update_config=1 # any normal AP with password, wpa (wep unchecked) network={ ssid="FRITZ!Box 7490" psk="jesusfuckingchrist" } network={ ssid="OpenWrt" psk="systemdshit" } # An OPEN AP without pw or security network={ ssid="Vodafone-WiFi" key_mgmt=NONE # An OPEN AP with same ESSID of other AP around: here's how to connect specifically to that one! # NOTE that bssid is a FUCKING STRING BUT doesn't require the " as any other string option in the config file. # WHY, WHY THE FUCK IS THAT. # THIS DROVE ME NUTS FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK. I HOPE WHO WROTE THE CONFIG FILE PARSER WILL PASS AN ENTIRE WEEK # WITH HIS BOWELS EXPLODING SHIT EVERYWHERE. network={ bssid=e4:8f:34:56:4f:0e key_mgmt=NONE } }}} To use it, just launch {{{ wpa_supplicant -dd -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf }}} ''-dd'' is for debugging. === CHECK if network is ok and relaunch dhclient accordingly === Sometime the wifi goes down and turn up again. But doing so, sometimes default route is cleared, I don't know why. So wifi turn on again, you are connected to wifi, but network doesn't work, you check, route -n and there's no fucking default gw. So you have to add it by hand (route add default gw etc. etc.) or you have to kill the fucking dhclient and re-launch it by hand. This sexual harassment led me to write this script that automagically check the network / gw and KILL / relaunch dhclient accordingly. {{{ #!/bin/bash INTERFACE="wlan0" SERVICE="wpa_supplicant" while : do wpa=`pidof $SERVICE` if [ "${wpa:-null}" = null ]; then echo "wpa_supplicant is DEAD" else echo "wpa_supplicant is running, pid $wpa " gat=$(/sbin/ip route | awk '/default/ { print $3 }') if [ "${gat:-null}" = null ]; then echo "wpa_supplicant is running, but NO GATEWAY" sleep 1 && killall dhclient && sleep 1 && dhclient -v $INTERFACE else echo "GW is $gat" fi fi sleep 10 done }}} I just launch this on a shell and GW is checked every 10 seconds. So I'm pretty sure my fucking network connection will STAY THE FUCK ON == A very nice script to use == Here it is, thanks to Katolaz! * https://kalos.mine.nu/setnet/ '''THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. ''' FUCK'N TASTIC! It does everything you need. == Old / Other things / Scratchpad == === Scanning WIFI networks === iw wlan0 scan and a little grep Let's awk, let's fuck ourselves {{{ #!/usr/bin/env awk -f $1 ~ /^BSS/ { if($2 !~ /Load:/) { #< Escape "BBS Load:" line gsub("(\\(.*|:)", "", $2) MAC = toupper($2) wifi[MAC]["enc"] = "OPEN" wifi[MAC]["WPS"] = "no" wifi[MAC]["wpa1"] = "" wifi[MAC]["wpa2"] = "" wifi[MAC]["wep"] = "" } } $1 == "SSID:" { # fix spaces in SSID FS=":" #< Changing field separator on ":", it should be # forbidded sign for SSID name $0=$0 sub(" ", "", $2) #< remove first whitespace wifi[MAC]["SSID"] = $2 FS=" " $0=$0 } $1 == "capability:" { for(i=2; i<=NF; i++) { if($i ~ /0x[0-9]{4}/) { gsub("(\\(|\\))", "", $i) if (and(strtonum($i), 0x10)) wifi[MAC]["wep"] = "WEP" } } } $1 == "WPA:" { wifi[MAC]["wpa1"] = "WPA1" } $1 == "RSN:" { wifi[MAC]["wpa2"] = "WPA2" } $1 == "WPS:" { wifi[MAC]["WPS"] = "yes" } $1 == "DS" { wifi[MAC]["Ch"] = $5 } $1 == "signal:" { match($2, /-([0-9]{2})\.00/, m) wifi[MAC]["Sig"] = m[1] } $1 == "TSF:" { gsub("(\\(|d|,)", "", $4) match($5, /([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2}):/, m) day = $4 hour = m[1] min = m[2] wifi[MAC]["TSF"] = day"d"hour"h"min"m" } END { for (w in wifi) { if (wifi[w]["wep"]) { if (wifi[w]["wpa1"] || wifi[w]["wpa2"]) wifi[w]["enc"] = wifi[w]["wpa1"]wifi[w]["wpa2"] else wifi[w]["enc"] = "WEP" } printf "%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s\n", w, wifi[w]["SSID"], wifi[w]["enc"], \ wifi[w]["WPS"], wifi[w]["Ch"], wifi[w]["Sig"], wifi[w]["TSF"] } } }}} result seem good to me: {{{ root@rover:/home/asbesto# iw wlan0 scan | awk -f parsa.awk 1C4997B6F02D:Linkem2.4GHz_51F02C:WPA2:yes:11:76:12d23h25m A491B1787677:FASTWEB-22032E:WPA2:yes:1:82:0d11h45m 121331D6EEA8:WOW FI - FASTWEB:WPA2:no:1:52:27d15h05m BA9E639DB4E7:Wiremore:WPA2:no:6:27:0d01h35m 628F34774344:Vodafone-Petacci:OPEN:no:12:70:1d07h59m root@rover:/home/asbesto# }}} Now, if one of those ESSID/MAC exist in our conf -> connect and fuck you === check in ESSID/MAC db === grep / awk into /etc/network/interface.ESSID ?

I don't care. Your fault. {{{ Parametri WPA senza wpasupplicant.conf Almeno a partire da Lenny (Debian 5) è possibile configurare wpa_supplicant direttamente dal file /etc/network/interfaces; per fare ciò sarà però necessario modificare un poco la sintassi. Rifacendomi all'esempio sopra riportato (nel caso con DHCP, ma vale la stessa cosa per un indirizzo statico), il file unico di configurazione andrebbe scritto nel modo seguente: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid NOME_RETE_WIRELESS wpa-psk cc989812bc2cd489f960d8c1b2428d98d3c5555dac62d70ff691762fb4cc418a evitando appunto la linea "pre-up wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B" e dunque l'utilizzo del file "etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. Alla fine i due metodi di configurazione sono da considerarsi equivalenti; sarà infine solo la filosofia dell'utente ad indicare quale metodo sia il migliore (c'è chi preferisce configurare un file in meno nel sistema operativo e chi preferisce avere un file di configurazione "dedicato" per ogni funzione del sistema). In ogni caso, come sempre, prima viene la conoscenza delle possibilità e poi si potrà decidere in tutta calma :-). Info.png Nota È possibile che in alcune guide troverete la linea "wpa-driver wext" a seguire o a precedere le due citate; nonostante quest'opzione sia effettivamente necessaria, se la si tralascia è ciò che viene comunque selezionato per default: tanto vale allora dimenticarcela ;-). Oltre alle opzioni "wpa-ssid" e "wpa-psk" (e "wpa-driver"), nel file /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz troverete tutte le altre possibilità che vi riportiamo qui sotto e utilizzabili a seconda dell'esigenza.
