Task Description
https://github.com/loh-tar/wpa-cute/releases
I know there are plans to remove NetworkManager. I wondered if we could replace it in 0.4 with Wpa_Cute. seen in the above link.
I haven’t been able to compile it, but it has been updated as recent as 2018 december (stable)
or 2019 january. :)
WPA_GUI doesn’t seem to work well for me, it runs into weird errors when I start it. Long story short, I run into this issue with wpa_supplicant when i do it manually:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wpa_supplicant:
Password-related problems
wpa_supplicant may not work properly if directly passed via stdin particularly long or complex passphrases which include special characters. This may lead to errors such as failed 4-way WPA handshake, PSK may be wrong when launching wpa_supplicant.
In order to solve this try using here strings wpa_passphrase <MYSSID> «< “<passphrase>” or passing a file to the -c flag instead:
# wpa_supplicant -i <interface> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/example.conf
In some instances it was found that storing the passphrase cleartext in the psk key of the wpa_supplicant.conf network block gave positive results (see [2]). However, this approach is rather insecure. Using wpa_cli to create this file instead of manually writing it gives the best results most of the time and therefore is the recommended way to proceed.
Problems with eduroam and other MSCHAPv2 connections
This is my issue with wpa_supplicant sadly... and I do not know how to workaround that without a GUI.
but Wpa_Supplicant_gui does not fix it either, it doesn’t even load properly on my other laptop.
It says it cannot get the status of wpa_supplicant when I load it.
This could be an issue if you get rid of NetworkManager for some users.
So yeah, please take a look at my request okay? Wait for 0.3 to be released to add this if possible. I know you guys are overworked, etc... and it doesn’t need to be done now anyhow. ;)
