iwd.py
------
This file contains methods to communicate with iwd via its D-Bus API and
control WiFi adapters.
Some terms used here, such as device and adapter might confuse you if you
haven't used iwctl before. Just as a quick reference, here is a list of
terms and what they mean:
- ad-hoc: a mode supported by some WiFi adapters to start a decentralised
network, where there is no central point of failure.
- ap: a mode used to start a central access point so that other machines
without pybatmesh can connect to the mesh. AP is also known as WiFi
hotspot.
- station: this is the mode most WiFi adapters use by default. This mode
is used to connect to an ap. pybatmesh DOES NOT use this mode.
- adapter: a physical WiFi chip or something similar that is present
inside most laptops and phones or can be connected via USB to a
machine.
- device: an interface provided by the kernel to control an adapter. Some
adapters can have multiple devices so that you can start an ap
on one device and an ad-hoc on the other. By default, iwd starts
only one device each for one adapter.
- machine: Since iwd uses the term device for a WiFi interface, we use the
word machine to refer to a computer, or a laptop, or a phone.
- node: a machine that runs pybatmesh and is therefore connected to the
mesh.
