release of the Wi-Fi daemon (iNet Wireless Daemon), developed by Intel as an alternative to wpa_supplicant for connecting Linux systems to wireless networks. IWD can be used standalone or serve as a backend for network managers like Network Manager and ConnMan. The project is suitable for embedded devices and optimized for minimal memory and disk space consumption. IWD does not use external libraries and relies solely on capabilities provided by the standard Linux kernel (only a Linux kernel and Glibc are sufficient for operation). It includes its own implementation of a DHCP client and a set . The project code is written in C and licensed under LGPLv2.1.
In support for the technology has been added (Wi-Fi P2P), which allows for a direct wireless connection between devices without using an access point. Issues related to processing have been resolved (Authenticated Key Management Fast Transition), (Fast Initial Link Setup) and (Robust Security Network Element). Problems in the automatic connection setup handler and in the implementation of the quick scanning mode for available networks have been resolved.
