All, After reading the great efforts to include WOL and other parameters into NM, I'm wondering if
the WOL patches are still not merged and require minor fixups: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2017-January/msg00029.html
there is interest in adding a few additional parameters that are becoming more interesting for larger enterprise users * 802.11w MFP - wpa_supplicant - # PMF enabled: ieee80211w=1 and key_mgmt=WPA-EAP WPA-EAP-SHA256 # PMF required: ieee80211w=2 and key_mgmt=WPA-EAP-SHA256 # pmf=1 * UAPSD - maybe difficult, chip-specific * Power save - maybe difficult, chip-specific iw <inter> set power_save off
powersave works, doesn't it? See "powersave" in `man nm-settings`.
* Opportunistic Key Caching #okc=0 * disable_vht: Whether VHT should be disabled. # 0 = VHT enabled (if AP supports it) # 1 = VHT disabled * A clever method of enabling/disabling 802.11r Much of this involves NM passing parameters to the wpa_supplicant.conf And yes, granted - all predicated on the driver/NIC support where appropriate. I see most of these really helpful in network acceptance testing, or proving problems with differing clients, would be great if NM offers easy, and in some cases, scriptable configuration which other OS make difficult. Best Regards,
In general, it would be great to add support for new options. Let's tackle them one at a time. Patches welcome. Thomas
