Description

The NMSettingWirelessSecurity object is a NMSetting subclass that describes properties necessary for connection to encrypted Wi-Fi networks.

It's a good idea to read up on wpa_supplicant configuration before using this setting extensively, since most of the options here correspond closely with the relevant wpa_supplicant configuration options. To get a better overview of how Wi-Fi security works, you may want to get copies of the following books.

the property was invalid

 

NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_ERROR_MISSING_PROPERTY

the property was missing and is required

 

NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_ERROR_MISSING_802_1X_SETTING

a property contained a value that requires the connection to contain a NMSetting8021x setting

 

NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_ERROR_LEAP_REQUIRES_802_1X

LEAP authentication was specified but key management was not set to "8021x"

NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_ERROR

#define NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_SECURITY_ERROR nm_setting_wireless_security_error_quark ()

enum NMWepKeyType

The NMWepKeyType values specify how any WEP keys present in the setting are interpreted. There are no standards governing how to hash the various WEP key/passphrase formats into the actual WEP key. Unfortunately some WEP keys can be interpreted in multiple ways, requiring the setting to specify how to interpret the any WEP keys. For example, the key "732f2d712e4a394a375d366931" is both a valid Hexadecimal WEP key and a WEP passphrase. Further, many ASCII keys are also valid WEP passphrases, but since passphrases and ASCII keys are hashed differently to determine the actual WEP key the type must be specified.

Members

NM_WEP_KEY_TYPE_UNKNOWN

unknown WEP key type

 

NM_WEP_KEY_TYPE_KEY

indicates a hexadecimal or ASCII formatted WEP key. Hex keys are either 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters (ie "5f782f2f5f" or "732f2d712e4a394a375d366931"), while ASCII keys are either 5 or 13 ASCII characters (ie "abcde" or "blahblah99$*1").

 

NM_WEP_KEY_TYPE_PASSPHRASE

indicates a WEP passphrase (ex "I bought a duck on my way back from the market 235Q&^%^*%") instead of a hexadecimal or ASCII key. Passphrases are between 8 and 64 characters inclusive and are hashed the actual WEP key using the MD5 hash algorithm.

  “psk”                      gchar *

Pre-Shared-Key for WPA networks. If the key is 64-characters long, it must contain only hexadecimal characters and is interpreted as a hexadecimal WPA key. Otherwise, the key must be between 8 and 63 ASCII characters (as specified in the 802.11i standard) and is interpreted as a WPA passphrase, and is hashed to derive the actual WPA-PSK used when connecting to the Wi-Fi network.

The “wep-key-flags” property

  “wep-key-flags”            guint

Flags indicating how to handle the “wep-key0”, “wep-key1”, “wep-key2”, and “wep-key3” properties.

The “wep-key-type” property

  “wep-key-type”             guint

Controls the interpretation of WEP keys. Allowed values are NM_WEP_KEY_TYPE_KEY, in which case the key is either a 10- or 26-character hexadecimal string, or a 5- or 13-character ASCII password; or NM_WEP_KEY_TYPE_PASSPHRASE, in which case the passphrase is provided as a string and will be hashed using the de-facto MD5 method to derive the actual WEP key.

The “wep-key0” property

  “wep-key0”                 gchar *

Index 0 WEP key. This is the WEP key used in most networks. See the "wep-key-type" property for a description of how this key is interpreted.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL


The “wep-key1” property

  “wep-key1”                 gchar *

Index 1 WEP key. This WEP index is not used by most networks. See the "wep-key-type" property for a description of how this key is interpreted.

Owner: NMSettingWirelessSecurity

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL


The “wep-key2” property

  “wep-key2”                 gchar *

Index 2 WEP key. This WEP index is not used by most networks. See the "wep-key-type" property for a description of how this key is interpreted.

Owner: NMSettingWirelessSecurity

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL


The “wep-key3” property

  “wep-key3”                 gchar *

Index 3 WEP key. This WEP index is not used by most networks. See the "wep-key-type" property for a description of how this key is interpreted.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL


The “wep-tx-keyidx” property

  “wep-tx-keyidx”            guint

When static WEP is used (ie, key-mgmt = "none") and a non-default WEP key index is used by the AP, put that WEP key index here. Valid values are 0 (default key) through 3. Note that some consumer access points (like the Linksys WRT54G) number the keys 1 - 4.
