= Setup

TIP: Tested on a Raspberry Pi with "Buster"

== Intro

networkd is a small and lean service to configure network interfaces, designed mostly for server use cases in a world with hotplugged and virtualized networking. Its configuration is similar in spirit and abstraction level to ifupdown, but you don't need any extra packages to configure bridges, bonds, vlan etc. It is not very suitable for managing WLANs yet; NetworkManager is still much more appropriate for such Desktop use cases.

 There are mainly three setups to have a peer to peer network:

* unprotected ad-hoc interface by configuring the WiFi device
* unprotected ad-hoc interface using wpa_supplicant (Recommended)
* Only with suitable (RSN-IBSS capable) USB dongle:
* protected ad-hoc interface using wpa_supplicant and WPA encryption (best solution if possible)
* ad-hoc interface with additional USB/WiFi dongle for uplink to internet router


== Install systemd-networkd

=== deinstall classic networking and install it!

* *sudo su*   # if not already done

*deinstall*

== protected ad-hoc interface using wpa_supplicant 

CAUTION: Raspberry Pi does not support encrypted IBSS connections!. You have to use an additional USB WiFi dongle that usually registers an interface wlan1. My setup shows:


Follow  *Install systemd-networkd*

Then come back here.

*check*

 You cannot find this support entry for Wiphy pyh0 that is the on-board WiFi device.
