go-networkmanager-qrcode-generator

golang based cli tools and golang packages to interact with NetworkManager for the generation of QR codes that contain WiFi connection information.

What's there

• Run the tool github.com/pseyfert/go-networkmanager-qrcode-generator on a Linux computer where WiFi is managed through NetworkManager and generate a QR code for one of the saved connections. If all goes well, a QR code is generated. Scan that file with a device that does not have the connection information, but does have a QR code reader that understands network settings and add the exchanged network connection information to that device. The QR code can be thrown on the terminal or saved as png.
• Run the tool github.com/pseyfert/go-networkmanager-qrcode-generator/tui on a Linux computer where WiFi is managed through NetworkManager and browse through network connections and generate a QR code on the terminal for them.

What's missing (functionality)

• Read QR code -> NetworkManager connection
• Fixing lots of corner cases (hidden ssids, networks w/o password, handling of unsupported connections)
• UI improvments

What's missing (infrastructure)

• tests
• docs
• review
