@ziswiler and @dermidgen have investigated various approaches.

  • connman via shell - fails due to requiring interactive mode + agent; also requires writing multiple config files to the fs & cleanup.
  • connman via dbus - blocked; require dbus wiring support
  • wpa_supplicant via shell - fails due to permissions; also requires writing multiple config files to the fs & cleanup
  • wpa_supplicant va dbus - blocked; require dbus wiring support

Final approach: Dbus to rule them all.

After a great deal of research it is decided: Dbus is the way to go. We can use it to communicate with wpa_supplicant in the same way that connman does.

@ziswiler @jgaud16 - I am awaiting your help on setting up the dbus stuff I need and hooking it into my mainloop in hiphonix.c
