I now need to launch wpa_gui and wpa_cli with a -p option to make them work, and wpa_gui does not remember this.

by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 22 Jun '11

By default, there is no network is configured in rc.conf. So if you boot the machine with an unmodified rc.conf you will see a warning about network deprecation settings.

[arch-projects] netcfg 2.6 release
by Rémy Oudompheng 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Hello, netcfg 2.6 has been released and pushed in [testing]. The following features has been added since the last release: - add support for IPv6 configuration (FS#18699) - add support for static routes configuration (FS#18700) - add support for creating tun/tap interfaces (FS#15049) - add configuration file /etc/conf.d/netcfg for net-auto-wireless - add support for restricting automatic startup of profiles (FS#23169) - bridge: add support for several brctl options (FS#16625) - wireless: add support for explicit BSSID (FS#24582) - wireless: add support for ad-hoc connections (FS#19683) - wireless: no longer require wireless_tools to work - use /run instead of /var/run - drops hard dependency on net-tools package - drops hard dependency on wireless_tools package Most importantly: - netcfg no longer puts no files in /run (dhcpcd still puts files there) - netcfg only depends on iproute2 and dhcpcd : wpa_supplicant is optional (required for wireless), wpa_actiond, ifplugd are required for net-auto* scripts - net-tools, wireless_tools are needed if you use legacy options IFOPTS and IWCONFIG, but this is strongly discouraged - /etc/conf.d/netcfg is a new configuration file, currently only used by net-auto-wireless: it is used to configure the name of the wireless interface you want to use (also possible in /etc/rc.conf, but discouraged), and to configure a list of preferred networks you want wpa_actiond to manage (FS#23169) - IPv6 is supported: no address configuration (even auto-configuration) will be done unless you say IP6=something in your profile. See the examples to see how it works - dhclient is needed if you want to support DHCPv6: this is expected to be an uncommon case, since auto-configuration exists. - netcfg can create tun/tap interfaces: it currently does not do anything with these (FS#15049) Regards, -- Rémy.

[arch-projects] [netcfg] Getting rid of wireless_tools
by Rémy Oudompheng 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Hello, wpa_supplicant is supposed to provide most of the wireless_tools functionality. I have set up a branch of netcfg that replaces all uses of wireless_tools by wpa_supplicant. http://projects.archlinux.org/users/remy/netcfg.git/log/?h=no-iwconfig iwconfig is still used by the deprecated IWCONFIG option, but there is still one thing I don't really understand. In src/connections/wireless, there is block that calls "iwconfig mode Managed" before starting wpa_supplicant. The log is not really explicit about why this was added (it merely says it was necessary for iwl3945), and wpa_supplicant man page only says it's necessary for the hostap driver, which we do not use. Does anybody knows the reason why it is needed? Rémy.
