+ <h2>What is this</h2>
+ <p>
+ With this setup, <tt>wpa_supplicant</tt> automatically changes network when needed.
+ Moreover, the network can be changed in userspace and new networks can be added.
+ All withouth the bloat of <tt>NetworkManager</tt> and <tt>ModemManager</tt>.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2>Requirements:</h2>
+ <ul>
+ <li><tt>wpa_supplicant</tt></li>
+ <li><tt>wpa_gui</tt></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h2><tt>wpa_supplicant</tt></h2>
+ <p>
+ <tt>/etc/network/interfaces</tt> needs for direct use with a <tt>wpa_supplicant</tt> daemon.
+ This is done by setting the wireless network as follows.
+ </p>
+
+ <pre>
+allow-hotplug wlp2s0
+iface wlp2s0 inet manual
+ wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>
+ This basically means that a <tt>wpa_supplicant</tt> will be watching the networks specified in the config and switch when in range.
+ Note that the <tt>iface</tt> is set to <tt>manual</tt> and not <tt>dhcp</tt>.
+ This means that below those lines you can configure your networks from the config manually.
+ So say that you have a network in the <tt>wpa_supplicant.conf</tt> with <tt>id_str="work"</tt>" that needs to be configured with dhcp, you add the following lines:
+ </p>
+
+ <pre>
+iface work inet dhcp
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>
+ Setting <tt>id_str</tt>s for all networks is tedious so to create a default setting you can use the <tt>default</tt> network name to for example set all wifi networks to dhcp.
+ </p>
+
+ <pre>
+iface default inet dhcp
+ </pre>
+
+ <h2><tt>wpa_supplicant.conf</tt></h2>
+ <p>
+ The config file for <tt>wpa_supplicant</tt> should at least contain the following lines.
+ The <tt>interface</tt> line defines the control socket and states that all users in the <tt>netdev</tt> group may control <tt>wpa_supplicant</tt>.
+ The <tt>update_config</tt> line states that the config file may be updated, thus having persistent changes.
+ Users you allow changing the config therefore have to be added to <tt>netdev</tt>.
+ </p>
+
+ <pre>
+interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
+update_config=1
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>
+ Followed are all the network configurations.
+ For these configuration consult the manpage for <tt>wpa_supplicant</tt>.
+ E.g. for <tt>WPA2</tt> networks you can use the <tt>wpa_passphrase</tt> tool.
+ For eduroam, don't handcraft configs either, use the configuration assistant available <a href="https://cat.eduroam.org/">here</a>.
+ This tool will generate a <tt>wpa_supplicant.conf</tt> if it fails to talk to networkmanager.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2><tt>wpa_gui</tt></h2>
+ <p>
+ Editing the config file is tedious and error prone.
+ Moreover, it requires a restart of <tt>wpa_supplicant</tt> to reinistate the config.
+ Luckily there are two tools that allow you to do this in-place using either the command line (<tt>wpa_cli</tt> is not discussed here) and via a GUI(<tt>wpa_gui</tt>).
+ If your user is a member of the <tt>netdev</tt> group you can just start it up.
+ Note that it resides by default in <tt>/usr/sbin</tt>.
+ <tt>wpa_gui</tt> is a graphical frontend where you can add, remove, diagnose and change wireless networks with <em>almost</em> as much functionality as <tt>wpa_cli</tt>.
