I am developing an application that is using the dbus api. The
application will setup the wifi for the unit. I am struggling a bit to
see the best practice for making sure we have fully updated list of
services. I know I can configure connman to automatically scan by
using BackgroundScanning which is by default set to true. Is the best
practice to let connman manage the scanning or should my application
trigger a scan whenever needed. The default scan schedule for connman is
not enough as I see it but I know you can setup a scan schedule in
wpa_supplicant but it looks like connman is starting wpa_supplicant so I
am not sure how to change this default scan schedule that connman is
setting up. Any comments are appreciated.
The theory is that the application/user shouldn't worry about scanning.
Even ConnMan shouldn't worry about this. Unfortunately, wpa_supplicant
doesn't do the full job. That's why ConnMan's wpa_supplicant plugin is
so complex (a mess).
Obviously, there are scenarios where you want to tell ConnMan do a scan
now. But you should not constantly tell ConnMan to do a scan. I am sure
this will have some nasty side effects.
Alternatively, you could give iwd a try. Though the current plugin is
only supported the very basic stuff. Needs some more work.
Thanks,
Daniel
