Does OpenWRT based router be configured to be a client of an AP that uses Hotspot 2.0 or passpoint mode of authentication?


Thanks

The 'hostapd' project, and more accurately its 'wpa_supplicant' side seems to have some level of support for this.

You might need to wrap the sleeves and modify the package responsible for building the sources of wpa_supplicant (this would be the 'hostapd' package found from the primary source tree), so as to configure the code-level switches responsible for enabling HS2.0 support.

You will also need to tinker around in the UCI configuration system so it knows how to read HS2.0 -related settings from /etc/config/wireless and write them to the wpa_supplicant's configuration file correctly.

Finally, you will need some fail-safe handling in the UCI system, in case some other WPA supplicant is being used (e.g. wpad, wpad-mini or hostapd-mini) which might not understand about HS2.0 -related settings in /etc/config/wireless.

The discussion might have continued from here.
