概述
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：
|
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant update_config=1 |
其中，update_config=1使能配置更改。
wpa_supplicant可以通过如下命令查看其所有操作参数：
|
#wpa_supplicant --help wpa_supplicant: invalid option -- - wpa_supplicant v0.8.x Copyright (c) 2003-2011, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors This program is free software.

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：
|
#wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf & |
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 wpa_cli v0.8.x Copyright (c) 2004-2011, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors

Selected interface 'ath0'
Interactive mode
> add 0 > list_network network id / ssid / bssid / flags 0 any [DISABLED] > |
另一种是直接在终端中敲击完整的命令行操作，如下：
|
# wpa_cli -i ath0 set_network 0 ssid '"206"' OK |
这两种方法的效果是一样的，主要区别如下：
-
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
-
终端写入的命令行长写，但写错里可以回退重新写。
-
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：
|
> set_network 0 psk "12345678" OK |
wpa_cli支持的所有命令可以通过help操作来查看
|
> help |
以下是我的一个完整的扫描连接过程：
-
启动wpa_supplicant和wpa_cli.
|
# wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf & # wpa_cli |
-
扫描ap
使用scan命令扫描网络，结束后使用scan_results命令查看网络。
|
> scan OK > driver_atheros_event_wireless: scan result event - SIOCGIWSCAN <3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS <3>WPS-AP-AVAILABLE
> > scan_results bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssid 00:23:68:26:40:c8 2412 36 [ESS] CMCC 00:26:5a:26:33:ac 2437 38 [WPA-PSK-TKIP][WPA2-PSK-TKIP][WPS][ESS] LZ205 > |
-
增加网络
使用add_network命令增加一个网络，可以使用list_network查看增加的网络信息。
|
> add_network 0 > list_network network id / ssid / bssid / flags 0 any [DISABLED] |
-
设定网络连接的ssid和密码
使用set_network命令设定连接的ap的用户名和密码
|
> set_network 0 ssid "LZ205" OK > set_network 0 psk "20100208" OK |
-
使能网络连接
使用enable_network命令使能网络连接
|
> enable_network 0 OK > driver_atheros_event_wireless: scan result event - SIOCGIWSCAN ath0: Trying to associate with 00:26:5a:26:33:ac (SSID='LZ205' freq=2437 MHz) <3>CTRL-EVENT-SCA ieee80211_ioctl_setmlme: os_opmode=1 [ieee80211_ioctl_setmlme] set desired bssid 00:26:5a:26:33:ac N-RESULTS <3>WPS-AP-AVAILABLE <3>Trying to associate with 00:26:5a:26:33:ac (SSID='LZ205' freq=2437 MHz) ath_paprd_cal PAPRD excessive failure disabling PAPRD now ath0: Associated with 00:26:5a:26:33:ac <3>Associated with 00:26:5a:26:33:ac vap-0: mlme_sta_swbmiss_timer_handler: SW Beacon miss!! vap-0: mlme_sta_swbmiss_timer_handler: SW Beacon miss!! vap-0: ieee80211_vap_iter_beacon_miss: Beacon miss, will indicate to OS!! ath0: WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect <3>WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect ath0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:26:5a:26:33:ac reason=0 <3>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:26:5a:26:33:ac reason=0 ieee80211_ioctl_setmlme: os_opmode=1 sult event - SIOCGIWSCAN [ieee80211_ioctl_setmlme] set desired bssid 00:26:5a:26:33:ac

看到CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED信息，表示连接完成。
-
状态查看
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。
|
> status bssid=00:26:5a:26:33:ac ssid=LZ205 id=0 mode=station pairwise_cipher=TKIP group_cipher=TKIP key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK wpa_state=COMPLETED address=20:13:08:15:16:13 |
-
config保存
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：
|
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant update_config=1 device_type=0-00000000-0
network={ ssid="LZ205" psk="20100208" }
|
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。
|
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant update_config=1
network={ ssid="LZ205" psk="20100208" priority=2 } |
