Wpa_supplicant 0.5.5 - Linux WPA Supplicant (IEEE 802.1X, WPA, WPA2, RSN, IEEE 802.11i).

Wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux, BSD and Windows with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the wlan driver.

wpa_supplicant is designed to be a "daemon" program that runs in the background and acts as the backend component controlling the wireless connection. wpa_supplicant supports separate frontend programs and an example text-based frontend, wpa_cli, is included with wpa_supplicant.

Supported WPA/IEEE 802.11i features: * WPA-PSK ("WPA-Personal") * WPA with EAP (e.g., with RADIUS authentication server) ("WPA-Enterprise") * key management for CCMP, TKIP, WEP104, WEP40 * WPA and full IEEE 802.11i/RSN/WPA2 * RSN: PMKSA caching, pre-authentication

See the project web site or the eap_testing.txt file for a complete list of supported EAP methods (IEEE 802.1X Supplicant), supported drivers and interoperability testing.
