<h1>wpa_supplicant configuration wizard</h1>
<p><a href="../">wpa_supplicant</a> supports large range of security
modes and authentication types. Just looking at the reference
information of available configuration options may not provide enough
high level understanding to select which options are needed. This page
provides information about configuring wpa_supplicant and a wizard for
generating example configuration files to make it easier to understand
different security policies and how they should be configured for
wpa_supplicant.</p>
<p>The wizard goes through steps to select suitable options based on
your input. An example configuration file is updated at each
step. This example can be seen at the bottom of this page.</p>
<h2>Step 1/5: Operating system and driver</h2>
<p>wpa_supplicant can be used with multiple operating systems and
network drivers. Most of the configuration parameters do not depend on
this, but some of the parameters may need to be changed based on
OS/driver capabilities.</p>
<form name="os_driver">
<select name="os" onChange="configure_os()" onBlur="configure_os()">
<option value="select">Select your operating system</option>
<option value="linux">Linux</option>

<option value="other">Other</option>
</select>
<select name="driver" onChange="configure_driver()" disabled="disabled">
</select>
</form>
<div id="os_desc" class="confdesc"></div>
<h2>Step 2/5: Network name</h2>
<p>
Wireless networks have a "network name" (SSID = Service Set
Identifier). This is a sequence of up to 32 characters. This name is
used to select which access points (AP) can be used and as such, it
must match with the SSID configured for the desired AP.
</p>
<p>
Some APs allow SSIDs to be "hidden" which requires that the client is
specifically searching for the configured to SSID to be able to
connect. This may require some additional options in wpa_supplicant
configuration, so enable those here by checking "hidden SSID" if your
AP is configured to hide the SSID. This may show up as "brodcast SSID
disabled" or "hidden SSID" or something similar in the AP
configuration. Hidden SSID configuration does not prevent
wpa_supplicant from connecting to APs that do not hide SSID, so it can
be enabled for all cases.
</p>
<form name="network">

<div id="cred_wep" class="credlayer">
<p>
Static WEP keys requires that at least one key is configured. Up to
four keys can be configured and one of them needs to be selected to be
used for transmitted frames. All configured keys can be used when
decrypting received frames.
</p>
<p>
WEP can be used with different key length. In most cases, either
40-bit or 104-bit keys are used. These key lengths may also be shown
as 64-bit and 128-bit in some cases since WEP adds 24-bit
initialization vector into the keys. 40-bit keys can be entered as
five character string surrounded with double quotation marks, e.g.,
"abcde". Alternatively, they can be entered as a hex string of ten
characters without quotation marks, e.g., 6162636465. Both of these
options configure the same key. 104-bit keys are entered similarly,
with 13-character text string or 26-character hex string.
</p>
<p>
wpa_supplicant uses indexes 0 .. 3 for the WEP keys. Some other user
interfaces may use indexes 1 .. 4, so this needs to be taken into
account when determining which index to use here.

Passphrase (string of 8 to 63 characters) needs to be configured for
WPA/WPA2-Personal. This passphrase is then converted into a 256-bit
pre-shared key (PSK). Alternatively, a 256-bit PSK can be entered as
64-character hex string into the PSK field. Only one of these options
should be used.

<h2>Example configuration</h2>
<form>
Configuration example is updated automatically when modifying
information above. However, if it is not updated in some cases (e.g.,
after reloading the page), you can force an update with this button.<br>
<input type="button" value="Update configuration" onClick="update_conf()">
</form>
<p>
This configuration file can be copied to a text file that
wpa_supplicant will then be asked to use with <i>-c&lt;full path to
configuration file&gt;</i> command line option.
