Truth be told we did not test if it works to add multiple networks and to let wpa_supplicant choose the best one. In theory it should work as intended; we did not remove any mechanisms providing this functionality. > So if I may ask, is it possible to write the file yourself and use all > features of wpa_supplicant on genode, or has it been stripped of all (or > parts of) the functionality and should I use selected_accesspoint instead? No, the existence of this file (wpa_supplicant.conf) is merely an implementation detail and should be of no concern to the user (and it is regrettable that the user has to deal with it at all). Using the 'wlan_configuration' config is the canonical way to configure the wifi_drv component. That being said, the decision to use the conf file under the hood to configure the supplicant was made because when doing the initial port it was the least time consuming way to get it up and running. Ideally, it would be better to enable the control interface but for the time being, the conf file approach seems to be good enough.
