I messaged a while back about connecting to a wired 802.1x connection via
connman. I was able to make a rudimentary integration using ead as the
supplicant. This worked. However, ead has a version requirement for the Linux
kernel that is >= 4.20 for EAP-TLS. Unfortunately, the device I am targeting
does not have a new enough kernel available. I am investigating the feasibility
of using wpa_supplicant for the wired 802.1x connection similar to how it is
done for the wifi plugin. The device does not require simultaneous use of WiFi
and Ethernet. We are setting SingleConnectedTechnology=true. The device is
fixed in place and has no need to roam. It can be configured to connect to WiFi
or Ethernet (and hopefully 802.1x).
I have started an integration, using the wifi plugin as a pattern. I am
creating a new plugin (and disabling the ethernet one). It looks like the
g_supplicant code (and probably wpa_supplicant) only allows one user. Is there
a way to switch between the two of them, or is this a no go?
Thanks for any insight!
