C Library for wpa_supplicant

[cbalu]

Hi all,

I have been working on adding wpa_supplicant to one of our custom made hardware under ARM linux with support for USB wifi adapter. So far I have been able to get wpa_supplicant running fine and confirmed the wifi adapter working state by connecting to various AP using WPA/WPA2/WEP via wpa_cli tool. Now I want to build a UI that requires interaction with wpa_supplicant and I am search for a library which might be pre-exist to communicate with wpa_supplicant. Do anyone know of any such library which I can use ?

From the website:

"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 a text-based frontend (wpa_cli) and a GUI (wpa_gui) are included with wpa_supplicant."

Just rip apart the code from wpa_cli or wpa_gui and do it yourself. They obviously use an API that wpa_supplicant offers to control itself. But, to be honest, surely wpa_gui does everything you need already?

Thanks, I will see that code and try to figure out a way to write my own library. I thought may be someone would have already done this, it looks like everyone is using either wpa_cli (or) wpa_gui to communicate with wpa_supplicant.
