The iNet Wireless Daemon (iwd) project aims to provide a comprehensive Wi-Fi connectivity solution for Linux based devices. The core goal of the project is to optimize resource utilization: storage, runtime memory and link-time costs.

Wireless daemon for Linux ************************* Copyright (C) 2013-2014 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved. Compilation and installation ============================ In order to compile the source code you need following software packages: - GCC compiler - GNU C library - Embedded Linux library To configure run: ./configure --prefix=/usr Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages. To compile and install run: make && make install Embedded Linux library ====================== In order to compile the daemon and control utility the development version of Embedded Linux library is required to be present. The development repositories can be found here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/ell/ell.git https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/libs/ell/ell.git The build systems requires that the Embedded Linux library source code is available on the same top level directory as the Wireless daemon source code: . |--- ell | |--- ell | `--- unit `--- iwd |--- src `--- client It is not required to build or install Embedded Linux library. The build will happen when building the Wireless daemon and it will then be linked internally. Kernel dependencies =================== In order to use this daemon and control utility the kdbus kernel module is required. The development repositories can be found here: https://github.com/gregkh/kdbus https://code.google.com/p/d-bus/ The daemon will start its own private bus that is located at the /dev/kdbus device hierarchy: /dev/kdbus |--- control `--- 0-iwd `--- bus When started as root, the new private bus will be /dev/kdbus/0-iwd/bus and it can be verified with the busctl utility from systemd: # busctl --address=kernel:path=/dev/kdbus/0-iwd/bus NAME PID PROCESS USER CONNECTION CONNECTION-NAME :1.1 62151 iwd root :1.1 iwd :1.2 62153 busctl root :1.2 sd-busctl Clients talking to the daemon must specifiy the private bus address.
