[Request] Set kernel options to support iwd

raspware · 07-22-2020, 07:45 AM

Hi!

In order to iwd work correctly on Slackware certain kernel options must be set. However, the following two options:

Code:

CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER

currently are NOT set:

Code:

$ grep CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_* boot/config-armv7-5.4.51
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API=m
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH is not set
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER is not set
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG is not set
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD=m

Can we set them in order to iwd work properly on Slackware?

I think yes, but you need to rebuild the kernel.

I rather meant can we enable these kernel options in the next kernel update (kernel_armv7-5.4.53-arm-1.txz or later...)?

Yes I can add these in the next batch. It'll be a while though.

Thanks. From now on I'll make sure these settings are included in the SARPi kernels.

What about this... (https://iwd.wiki.kernel.org/gettings...l_dependencies)

If you want to play with WPS support, then you also need:

scripts/config --enable CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS

Do you need the CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS setting enabling as well?

I've added that too.

Done and done.
