wpa_supplicant 配置与应用

wpa_supplicant是wifi客户端（client）加密认证工具，和iwconfig不同，wpa_supplicant支持wep、wpa、wpa2等完整的加密认证，而iwconfig只能支持wep。

和wpa_supplocant相对应的，ap端的加密认证工具为hostapd。

wpa_supplicant运行于后台，它需要借助控制台工具wpa_cli来进行手动操作。

在wpa_supplicant源码目录下，存在参考的配置文件wpa_supplicant.conf，几乎包含里所有的配置项。

我们的配置文件不需要这么复杂，开始测试阶段，我只写最简单的配置文件，其它手动操作先。

在/etc/下建立配置文件wpa_supplicant.conf，内容如下：

wpa_supplicant v0.8.x

usage:

wpa_supplicant [-BddhKLqqstuvW] [-P pid file ] [-g global ctrl ] \

-i ifname -c config file [-C ctrl ] [-D driver ] [-p driver_param ] \

[-b br_ifname ] [-f debug file ] [-e entropy file ] \

[-o override driver ] [-O override ctrl ] \

[-N -i ifname -c conf [-C ctrl ] [-D driver ] \

[-p driver_param ] [-b br_ifname ] ...]

 

drivers:

athr = Atheros Linux driver

options:

-b = optional bridge interface name

-B = run daemon in the background

-c = Configuration file

-C = ctrl_interface parameter (only used if -c is not)

-i = interface name

-d = increase debugging verbosity (-dd even more)

-D = driver name (can be multiple drivers: nl80211,wext)

-e = entropy file

-g = global ctrl_interface

-K = include keys (passwords, etc.) in debug output

-t = include timestamp in debug messages

-h = show this help text

-L = show license (GPL and BSD)

-o = override driver parameter for new interfaces

-O = override ctrl_interface parameter for new interfaces

-p = driver parameters

-P = PID file

-q = decrease debugging verbosity (-qq even less)

-v = show version

-W = wait for a control interface monitor before starting

-N = start describing new interface

example:

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

其中最常用的为：-i 指定端口，-c 指定配置文件，-D 指定使用的wifi驱动

我们这里只指定端口和配置文件，驱动使用默认的。

wpa_supplicant启动操作命令如下：

 

注意：启动wpa_supplicant之前wifi必须先启动，wpa_supplicnat使用在wifi client端口上。

 

在测试过程中，如果出现问题，可以在wpa_supplicant启动时使用参数使其输出更多的debug信息：

#wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dddd

wpa_supplicant启动后，就可以通过wpa_cli来操作设置了。

wpa_cli操作有两种方法，一是直接进入CLI控制台操作，如下：

#wpa_cli

wpa_cli v0.8.x

wpa_cli控制台中写的命令行要简单些，不需要指定端口(如wpa_cli –i ath0),但写错了不能回退，需要重新完整写入

对于ssid和密码，终端中操作时需要使用单引号把双引号的字符包括起来，而cli控制台中只需要双引号，如下：

使用status命令可以查看网络状态，使用quit退出CLI后，可以使用iwconfig命令查看ath0连接状态。

使用save命令可以保存当前的连接设置，下次wifi启动时会自动连接此AP.

保存后，wpa_supplicant.conf文件被自动修改为如下内容：

若希望wifi启动后自动连接到预先设置的ap，只需按如下设置脚本即可以，如果预先设置里多个ap则每个网络需要设置优先级参数priority。
