netman's Issues

Basic working example to initial commands

Implement the basic working commands, clean up the network.c file, decide which format of options will be used. Rename all the commands to netman_*

Which interface to use?

Which interface do we use for wireless networks? It wouldn't be nice when you were forced to specify this for every network you want to connect to. Do we set a default? Do we check on what interfaces wpa_supplicant is running, then just pick one?

Daemonize

Make it possible to run netman as a daemon!

This would allow:

• connecting without superuser permissions
• automatically switching to wired networks when plugged in (ifplugd)
• continuous control over wireless networks
• more?

Feedback on connect

When you connect to a network, wait for success or failure and report this to the user.

Changes to the config file

When netman is allowed to make changes to your config file, it should write config changes (for example, when you add a network on the command line). The problem arises in that the config file is supposed to be human-readable. Will we try to respect the users formatting as much as possible, or will we just dump the config in a format of our liking?

Prompt parameters

We don't always want to show the password/PSK in the command line, ie netman -c alias -p psk. It would be good if we could prompt the password or the PSK and not display it. How should we go about this? What if it's not a WPA2/PSK network? Do we assume WPA2/PSK and let the user handle that?

Scan wireless

• Scan available networks
• Link the networks to netman networks

Argument parser

Create an argument parser for the defined commands using getopt.h.

It should be implemented in main.c with static functions.
