Witui

A simple tui to set your wifi. Minimal enough to be used in a minimal/embedded UNIX installation!

Why any other wpa client sucks (for e.g. wpa_tui)?

  • Slow AF (takes a few seconds to do anything in them).
  • Open source ones use an init systemd as backend!
  • One needs to install wpa_gui to get offical wpa_tui, and is not availble for wayland repos
  • No root access needed anymore!

Usage

Download (or build) the app

witui

Build Instructions

Configure include/witui.h according to your wifi interface (for me was wlp3s0). The static library for wpa_supplicant has already been provided in this repo under lib/. Just now run;

make

For cleaning

make clean

Supports

PSK encrypted wifi signals (for home networks) or any public one with no key management( for e.g. coffee shops/airpots).

You can review the changes made by this tool by going through the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file itself
