# nl80211 in Rust

Handling nl80211, IEEE 802.11 Netlink protocol, in Rust. Work in progress.

## Example

If run without arguments the example program will listen for nl80211 events.

If a new scan event is received the scan results will be fetched.

```bash

$ cargo run --release --example nl80211

```

To run some example commands administrative access is needed, Set administrative capabilities like so,

```

sudo setcap cap_net_admin+ep ./target/release/examples/nl80211

```

Then it is possible to initiate a scan for example.

```bash

./target/release/examples/nl80211 scan

```

## Compatability

Rust 1.30.0 or later is needed.

Tested on following platforms,

 - Linux 4.18 x86_64, Fedora 28

 - Linux 4.1 ARMv7

 - Linux 4.9 AArch64
