-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I'm trying to build a gateway/AP with two SSID managed by hostapd without completely disabling NetworkManager. Base is CentOS7 My current setup looks like this and works. +----------------+--------+---------------------+--------------------+ | | enp5s6 - public IP by DHCP | | | | | | | | managed by NM | | | | | | | | | | | +-----^----------------^-------+ | | | | | | +--MASQ-+ +----MASQ-----+ | | | | | +------+-------+--------------+ +-----+-----------+--------------+ || br0 - 192.168.1.0/24 +<-+ | br1 - 192.168.50.0/24 || || created by network | XXX | created by network || || managed by NM, | +->+ managed by NM || || | | || |-------------------+-- ------+--------------------------------------| || enp7s0 | wlp6s0 | wlp6s0.1 || || joined to br0 | | || || by network | | created and managed by hostapd|| || | | joined to br1 on creation || || | +--------------------------------| || | managed by hostapd || || | joined to br0 by hostapd || +-------------------+-- ---------------------------------------------+ - br0 is interal network comprised of wired enp7s0 and wireless wlp6s0 (wireless managed by WPA2 Enterpise), - br1 is public guest wifi network with WPA2 Consumer. There is no routing between the two. - Both are MASQeraded to external interface (enp5s6). - Firewall and masquerading is managed by firewalld. All config is kept in /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-* files, so during bootup networking could be assembled by old networking initscript (it is not disabled). I'd like to let NetworkManager manage all interfaces, unfotunately as for now it does not allow me to manage only III layer and up without touching II Iayer of wifi interface (or I was not able to find appropriate setting). Thus I had to create br1 to separate IP configuration (managed by NM) and let hostapd manage AP functionality on virtual wlp6s0.1. This seem to be unnecessary, but I could not make it work any other way. My questions: 1. Is is it possible to make NetworkManager manage a wifi interface just as an ordinary wired ethernet (no fooling around wireless settings)? Wired interfaces can be with or without 802.1X so here situation potentially can be no different. 2. Is it possible to let NM take over management of virtual wireless interface (here wlp6s0.1) once it is created? Now when the interfece is defined as NM-managed, "hotplug" to "yes" and "type" is set to "wifi", network manager does not react to its creation by hostapd and whet I try to bring the connection manually, NM complains it canot find a device to manage. Should it be possible I could get rid of br1. - -- Mith Elen sila lumenn omentielvo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQGcBAEBAgAGBQJcZa4eAAoJEHsdvut2jC9BX80L/03+JsFCdtk3VCDABFOrsZiy IJRzwYx7bAHoabXYWQSCBjq6f2VFIyj9aXg+IJ10Oo+db4DUX+qV5HbHK8uAmT1c ZzA9hQgh75blrD1rFnsnHwlklCnNPJ8fWphVHEoJuCW9fO+WPyMVngmbBSG7cFHO OcxsmdUnojB+wHbZ4i4pFB70uTejqoXx/DlopV7cWfO8WI/H98tWJqamhyuWZi3g N7NgooNYcHXeSP1q/39o6HVYI3UFUcgHNUw6AFUdNXYzXmbdZz/FM5GZAbWmpDZj KFz8GlUArvKLBpdOcvFdnepzYDN4qQ2QGyCkKnhNQPp5CvFDxbQO6kpdDc+Xq+NH wYj6hVSwG5gafKn0HD8pDtUpyCEeCT16FU3P8BJ/e3nT1498bkoikFUspXdln+OG n8NcUVCKOHFGkNHF1uejPXQCFUd+xgY4xjF9meWKgQUrhvkQVQM/lhVdVu4bskn9 TfiIGqofPqCt1rTngx51N9DS8aJRYFwOmuTaYXnywg== =k5Dc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
