Using wpa_supplicate with buildroot

Using wpa_supplicant with buidlroot 
  • Buildroot does not provide scripts ifup/ifdown integrated with wpa_supplicant
    • Ubuntu/OpenWrt and others have scripts that parse interfaces file to start tools 
    • So doing this by hand
      • wpa_supplicant start -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf &
        • Configures wifi and makes a connection then the connection is made need to start a ifup.
      • ifup wlan0 (This kicks off the dhcp client)
  • Will publish more on this issue again.. Might just use openwrt for this..
