# 2021-07-27 explanation from @jvonau: The 3 BELOW (iw, rfkill, wireless-tools)
# are provided by RaspiOS. Ubuntu|Debian on the other hand are hit or miss:
# desktops might have some/all 3 preinstalled, while servers tend not to have
# these present at all, but are needed to be installed if you want to take full
# advantage of WiFi on Ubuntu and friends
- name: 'Install packages: hostapd, iw, rfkill, wireless-tools'
package:
name:
- hostapd # IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticator -- has its service masked out of the box, and only used when IIAB's network roles detects the presence of WiFi and an AP is desired
- iw # 2021-07-27: RaspiOS installs this regardless -- configure Linux wireless devices -- hard dependence for ap0 creation, SEE https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/network/templates/hostapd/iiab-clone-wifi.service.j2
- rfkill # 2021-07-27: RaspiOS installs this regardless -- enable & disable wireless devices
- wireless-tools # 2021-07-27: RaspiOS installs this regardless -- manipulate Linux Wireless Extensions
