The known network APIs all revolved around the ssid/security matching
to do any operations on the provisioning file. In the near future
hotspot provisioning files (managed by hotspot.c) will be incorporated
into the known network list. Since these hotspot files do not use the
ssid as the file name hotspot.c will need other ways of matching.
This patch adds network_info_ops to the network object. This ops
structure will hold function pointers which operate on network_info
rather than ssid/security. This will allow hotspot and known networks
to both register their own operation routines.
For now open, touch, sync, remove, free, and get_path were added.
Wrappers were added for accessing these operations outside of
knownnetworks.c.
In non-interactive mode the agent managers' agent registration callback
precede the actual action command's callback such as 'connect'. iwctl
continues execution until anything else besides the agent registration
callback arrives unless the agent registration has failed.
Previously, agent was registered only for the interactive mode.
This patch enables agent registration in non-interactive mode
taking into consideration the existence of the command-line options.
Enable parsing of the command-line options by the command module.
The parsed command-line option values are stored in command_options
list and made available through the module’s public API:
command_option_get – allows querying options by name,
command_has_options – checks existence of the options.
Upon initial install iwd fails to start because the service file
says ReadWritePaths=/var/lib/iwd while that directory doesn't
(yet) exist. (This commit also fixes the same problem for ead.)

Isolate the known_frequency queue management to a function and place
that function in knownnetworks.c where it now belongs. Since we no
longer have network_info objects for unknown networks, only frequencies
for known networks are tracked
networks queue was intended to share basic network information between
multiple adapters running simultaneously. The network_info object was
also serving double duty to carry known network information. This made
things overly complicated and really didn't result in much savings.
This setup also made managing hotspot networks challenging as we would
have ended up with multiple network_info objects for each known hotspot
network.
So get rid of the networks queue and the is_known bit from the
network_info structure.
network_find_rank_index was used to find the offset of the selected
network_info among known networks so as to compute a modifier based on
the rankmod table. Instead of using known_networks_foreach for this,
moove it to knownnetworks.c where it can be coded and optimized
separately.
For now provide a simple for loop implementation.
This will allow the user to see the iwd output in /tmp/iwd.log.
execute_program was extended to take a 'log' flag. If true, this
will cause the programs output to be stored in /tmp/<name>.log.
This is only useful when using the --shell command as this file
will go away once the VM stops. The verbose flag always overrides
the logging functionality.
For now only iwd output is logged when using --shell.
This is merely an empty test that can act as a sandbox for the new
--shell command. It was not named with 'test' so that autotesting
will skip it.
This test is not very useful for virtual hardware testing
(mac80211_hwsim), but very useful for USB/PCI passthrough. When
setup correctly, you can now pass through a single device and test
against real networks with a minimal kernel.
It is sometimes valuable to just boot into a shell in order to manually
test functionality. Since test-runner already is setup to run a minimal
kernel with all the necessary requirements for hostapd/iwd it made
sense to allow the user to do this.
If -s,--shell is passed into test runner, no python tests will be run.
The hw.conf file is still used to setup IWD and hostapd so once booted
into the shell you can still (manually) run the test (e.g. via iwctl).
This also works when using USB/PCI passthrough. This makes testing
out different kernel version with real hardware much quicker than
using the host kernel.
