<para>
|
|
Wireless networks do not require physical access to the network equipment
|
|
in the same way as wired networks. This makes it easier for unauthorized
|
|
users to passively monitor a network and capture all transmitted frames.
|
|
In addition, unauthorized use of the network is much easier. In many cases,
|
|
this can happen even without user's explicit knowledge since the wireless
|
|
LAN adapter may have been configured to automatically join any available
|
|
network.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Link-layer encryption can be used to provide a layer of security for
|
|
wireless networks. The original wireless LAN standard, IEEE 802.11,
|
|
included a simple encryption mechanism, WEP. However, that proved to
|
|
be flawed in many areas and network protected with WEP cannot be consider
|
|
secure. IEEE 802.1X authentication and frequently changed dynamic WEP keys
|
|
can be used to improve the network security, but even that has inherited
|
|
security issues due to the use of WEP for encryption. Wi-Fi Protected
|
|
Access and IEEE 802.11i amendment to the wireless LAN standard introduce
|
|
a much improvement mechanism for securing wireless networks. IEEE 802.11i
|
|
enabled networks that are using CCMP (encryption mechanism based on strong
|
|
cryptographic algorithm AES) can finally be called secure used for
|
|
applications which require efficient protection against unauthorized
|
|
access.

</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>wpa_supplicant</command> is an implementation of
|
|
the WPA Supplicant component, i.e., the part that runs in the
|
|
client stations. It implements WPA key negotiation with a WPA
|
|
Authenticator and EAP authentication with Authentication
|
|
Server. In addition, it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11
|
|
authentication/association of the wireless LAN driver.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>wpa_supplicant</command> is designed to be a
|
|
"daemon" program that runs in the background and acts as the
|
|
backend component controlling the wireless
|
|
connection. <command>wpa_supplicant</command> supports separate
|
|
frontend programs and an example text-based frontend,
|
|
<command>wpa_cli</command>, is included with
|
|
wpa_supplicant.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Before wpa_supplicant can do its work, the network interface
|
|
must be available. That means that the physical device must be
|
|
present and enabled, and the driver for the device must be
|
|
loaded. The daemon will exit immediately if the device is not already
|
|
available.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>After <command>wpa_supplicant</command> has configured the
|
|
network device, higher level configuration such as DHCP may
|
|
proceed. There are a variety of ways to integrate wpa_supplicant
|
|
into a machine's networking scripts, a few of which are described
|
|
in sections below.</para>

<title>Examples</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>In most common cases, <command>wpa_supplicant</command> is
|
|
started with:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>This makes the process fork into background.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The easiest way to debug problems, and to get debug log for
|
|
bug reports, is to start <command>wpa_supplicant</command> on
|
|
foreground with debugging enabled:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -d
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the specific driver wrapper is not known beforehand, it is
|
|
possible to specify multiple comma separated driver wrappers on the command
|
|
line. <command>wpa_supplicant</command> will use the first driver
|
|
wrapper that is able to initialize the interface.</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211,wext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>wpa_supplicant</command> can control multiple
|
|
interfaces (radios) either by running one process for each
|
|
interface separately or by running just one process and list of
|
|
options at command line. Each interface is separated with -N
|
|
argument. As an example, following command would start
|
|
wpa_supplicant for two interfaces:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
wpa_supplicant \
|
|
-c wpa1.conf -i wlan0 -D nl80211 -N \
|
|
-c wpa2.conf -i ath0 -D wext
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>

<para>wpa_supplicant was designed to be portable for different
|
|
drivers and operating systems. Hopefully, support for more wlan
|
|
cards and OSes will be added in the future. See developer.txt for
|
|
more information about the design of wpa_supplicant and porting to
|
|
other drivers. One main goal is to add full WPA/WPA2 support to
|
|
Linux wireless extensions to allow new drivers to be supported
|
|
without having to implement new driver-specific interface code in
|
|
wpa_supplicant.</para>

<title>Quick Start</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>First, make a configuration file, e.g.
|
|
<filename>/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf</filename>, that describes the networks
|
|
you are interested in. See <citerefentry>
|
|
<refentrytitle>wpa_supplicant.conf</refentrytitle>
|
|
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum>
|
|
</citerefentry>
|
|
for details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Once the configuration is ready, you can test whether the
|
|
configuration works by running <command>wpa_supplicant</command>
|
|
with following command to start it on foreground with debugging
|
|
enabled:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>Assuming everything goes fine, you can start using following
|
|
command to start <command>wpa_supplicant</command> on background
|
|
without debugging:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>Please note that if you included more than one driver
|
|
interface in the build time configuration (.config), you may need
|
|
to specify which interface to use by including -D<driver
|
|
name> option on the command line.</para>
|
|
|
|
<!-- XXX at this point, the page could include a little script
|
|
based on wpa_cli to wait for a connection and then run
|
|
dhclient -->

<title>Interface to pcmcia-cs/cardmrg</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>For example, following small changes to pcmcia-cs scripts
|
|
can be used to enable WPA support:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Add MODE="Managed" and WPA="y" to the network scheme in
|
|
<filename>/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Add the following block to the end of <emphasis>start</emphasis>
|
|
action handler in <filename>/etc/pcmcia/wireless</filename>:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
if [ "$WPA" = "y" -a -x /usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant ]; then
|
|
/usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i$DEVICE
|
|
fi
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Add the following block to the end of <emphasis>stop</emphasis>
|
|
action handler (may need to be separated from other actions) in
|
|
<filename>/etc/pcmcia/wireless</filename>:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><programlisting>
|
|
if [ "$WPA" = "y" -a -x /usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant ]; then
|
|
killall wpa_supplicant
|
|
fi
|
|
</programlisting></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>This will make <command>cardmgr</command> start
|
|
<command>wpa_supplicant</command> when the card is plugged
|
|
in.</para>
