Subject: How to Autoconnect Two WiFi Cards?
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2024 16:48:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DFBE16E1-468A-4292-9056-D7ED6AA0CB4E@xtonomy.ai> (raw)
Dear iwd users and developers,
I have a setup with two identical Intel AX210 WiFi cards. I want to connect each to a different SSID. Automatically if possible. But I can’t figure out a way to do that. Even if I connect each one to their network manually, the next time the signal is lost and a card reconnects, there is a good chance that it connects to the wrong network again.
There is no option in the network configuration files to limit a network to a certain interface as far as I can see. I also tried running two instances of iwd, each with a different „—phys“ parameter and STATE_DIRECTORY variable. But the second instance fails with „Name request failed“ (something D-Bus-related?). I also can’t see a way to tell iwctl to which iwd instance to connect to. I also tried using NetworkManager to control iwd, but that worked even worse.
So how can I force each WiFi card on a different SSID? One of the SSIDs is on 2.4 GHz and the other is on 5 GHz. Does that help somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Fabian
