Wi-Fi* Simple Config (WSC) Linux* Reference Implementation

[Lambodar]

The Wi-Fi Simple Config (WSC) is an innovative technique for setting up inhabited Wi-Fi (802.11) networks by means of equal emphasis on sanctuary and ease of utilize. The technique is being standardized in Wi-Fi Alliance. Intel Corporation is provided that a Linux reference implementation, to create possible industry development for this emerging standard. Give pleasure to note this code is not tested or anticipated as product level code, and is provided AS IS, without Intel technical support.

As a expediency to its customers, Intel is provided that the subsequent information in sequence regarding third party WSC accomplishment and plug-ins for Intel’s Simple Config Reference accomplishment of WSC. The linked sites are not beneath the control of Intel, and Intel is not conscientious for the content of several linked site or several link contained in a linked site, or several products make available from third parties. If you make a decision to contact several of the third parties referenced beneath, you do this completely at your own risk. Intel does not endorse companies or products to which it links, and reserves the right to conclude several link or linking program at several time.

The subsequent package consists of two separate open resource software components customized by Intel and disseminated under GNU General Public License (GPL). On the other hand, this software might be distributed beneath the terms of a Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license. When using or reorganize these files, you might do so under moreover license.

To our familiarity, the WSC reference code is extremely close to the spec. The /common is essential to build the WSC stack beneath Linux. It has the entire the “common” entities used by more than a few WSC modules. The readme explains the Linux build procedure in enormous detail. A. Given the limitations of the Windows version or description (which does not hold up or maintain EAP additional than does maintain UPnP over Ethernet), and given our extremely limited engineering support, most of them decided to simply release the Linux version or description of the code. If there is strong interest in the industry, most of them might reconsider, additional than most of them do not currently have the resources to create a fully-functional Windows version.

The most probable culprit is a mismatched WLAN chipset. The contained documentation (straightforward Config Software Design v0 4.pdf, 11/29/2005) clarifies that an Atheros chipset-based LAN card is presently necessary for this to work. As of this writing, there is no Intel(R) chipset-based WLAN card Linux driver brings up to date for WSC obtainable to the open source.

Despite the massive achievement of wifi, mobile apparatus have been plagued by complicated procedures for setting up Wi-Fi networks, leading to expensive product returns, expensive hold up or maintain calls, and extremely dissatisfied customers. To most excellent meet consumer requirements to create the configuration of personal networks as straightforward as pushing a button, The Devicescape accomplishment of Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is contained in the Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi software solution for apparatus OEM’s and ODM’s.

It based on a wifi association arrangement; WPS makes the configuration of protected personal Wi-Fi networks as straightforward as pushing a button or entering a PIN code. Manufacturers and designers are able to at present leverage the Devicescape implementation of WPS to present apparatus that are tremendously simple to get on a home or diminutive business Wi-Fi network.
