NAME

iwd - Configuration file for wireless daemon

SYNOPSIS

Configuration file main.conf

DESCRIPTION

The main.conf configuration file configures the system-wide settings for iwd. This file lives in the configuration directory specified by the environment variable $CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY, which is normally provided by systemd. In the absence of such an environment variable it defaults to /etc/iwd. If no main.conf is present, then default values are chosen. The presence of main.conf is not required.

FILE FORMAT

See iwd.network for details on the file format.

SETTINGS

The settings are split into several categories. Each category has a group associated with it and described in separate tables below.

General Settings

The group [General] contains general settings.

enable_network_config Values: true, false (default) Enable network configuration. Setting this option to true enables iwd to configure the network interfaces with the IP addresses. There are two types IP addressing supported by iwd: static and dynamic. The static IP addresses are configured through the network configuration files. If no static IP configuration has been provided for a network, iwd will attempt to obtain the dynamic addresses from the network through the built-in DHCP client. The network configuration feature is disabled by default.
dns_resolve_method Values: resolvconf, systemd (default) Indicate a DNS resolution method used by the system. This configuration option must be used in conjunction with enable_network_config and provides the choice of system resolver integration. If not specified, systemd is used as default.
