- ebiggers 5mo agoIndeed, iwd is the main reason why general-purpose Linux distros can't disable AF_ALG yet. But many Linux systems are more specialized and don't have wireless connectivity, or they use another wireless daemon such as wpa_supplicant which doesn't have this issue. I'm hoping we can get iwd fixed to use a userspace crypto library, as well. This is something that people could help with. iwd also runs as root, so it would be okay with a CAP_SYS_ADMIN permission check if one were introduced, I think.
