# wifid

Set up a Wi-Fi Direct connection on Linux

## WiFi Direct on Linux

So I tried to connect two devices using Wifi-Direct.

One was a PC with Linux, and the other was an Android smartphone.

I wanted Linux as a GO and Android as a client.

In order to set up Wifi-Direct connection, I made a Python script to start wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli with p2p options.

And this is what worked for me in Linux.

## wifid.py

It provides 3 functions:

- setup_conf_files()

- start_as_go_fedora()

- start_as_go_ubuntu()

which are to enable P2P device connectivity and become an autonomous GO, as the name suggests.
