# Iwdgui
[Iwdgui](https://gitlab.com/hfernh/iwdgui) is a graphical frontend for
[iwd](https://iwd.wiki.kernel.org), Intel's iNet Wireless Daemon.
# Feature overview
- Graphical user interface for iwd, focusing on practical use, making it easy
to connect a laptop or desktop to a wifi network.
- Supporting multiple wireless adapters, in different tabs.
- Can provide detailed information: vendor/model of the wireless interface,
IP address information, radio standard (802.??), channel, signal strength,
etc.
- Iwdgui supports station mode, access point mode, and ad-hoc mode.
(The latter two depend on the wireless network interface capabilities)
- Able to manage previously connected networks.
# Technical overview
- Iwdgui consists of a [single window](https://gitlab.com/hfernh/iwdgui/-/raw/master/screenshots/iwdgui-mainwindow.png).
in which a user can select the wireless interface, the network to connect to,
and get information on a previously connected network.
- Currently iwdgui supports 'station' mode, i.e. the mode in which a laptop
or desktop connects to a wireless access point or router.
- Iwdgui and the iwd daemon communicate over a
[D-Bus](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/) connection.
# Dependencies
The following software is needed to run iwdgui:
- [Python3](https://www.python.org), as the programming language.
- [GTK3](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable), as the graphical toolkit
- [PyGObject](https://pygobject.readthedocs.io), which provides the Python
bindings for GTK3, GLib, etc.
- [Dbus-python](https://pypi.org/project/dbus-python) for interfacing
with iwd over [D-Bus](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus).
- [Netifaces](https://github.com/al45tair/netifaces), to obtain IP address
information.
# Operating environment prerequisites
- Iwd should be running.
- At least one iwd network interface device should be available, powered on,
and configured in station mode.
- [Python3](https://www.python.org), as the programming language.
- [GTK3](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable), as the graphical toolkit.
- [Dbus-python](https://pypi.org/project/dbus-python) as Python D-Bus binding.
- [Netifaces](https://github.com/al45tair/netifaces), to obtain IP address
information.
