Supplicant & Network Manager

Ezurio provides the Summit supplicant and Network Manager in source code as part of the Sona IF573 and Sterling LWBx radio stack. The Summit supplicant is an enhanced version of the open source wpa_supplicant and contains functionality needed to support some features of the Sona IF573 and LWBx radios. The Summit supplicant is required for full functionality.

Network Manager is an optional component that handles network configuration at a high level. Ezurio has extended Network Manager to support additional wireless client and AP configuration options in the Summit supplicant.

Building and installing the supplicant and Network Manager is beyond the scope of this document. This is handled automatically by the Ezurio Yocto layer for those using the Yocto build system.
