This is a standalone version of wsupp, the WPA supplicant from minibase, ported to standard libc and with minibase-specific parts removed.

                   !! DO NOT USE THIS VERSION !!

             unless you are absolutely positively sure
             libc dependency is beneficial in your case
                        (hint: it is not)

            See https://github.com/arsv/minibase instead.

Once connection is established, this version attempts to spawn dhcp $iface which is expected to configure the interface. The command should preferably be short-running, but wsupp can tolerate long-running ones as well.

This version uses the same client protocol and the same file formats as the original one from minibase. However, wifi here lack commands to start or stop the service, because those require ifmon to work.

How to build:

./configure [cc=musl-gcc static]
make
make DESTDIR=... install

How to use:

wsupp wlan0

wifi
wifi scan
wifi connect Blackhole
wifi disconnect

The port is somewhat dirty right now, in that it retains code that makes sense within minibase but not so much in libc environment. Maybe I will fix that at some point.
