[OpenWrt-Devel] Q: understanding entropy/random for SSH-keys

2015-02-18 Thread Bastian Bittorf
as far is i know, mac80211 (or ath9k?) add entropy to the kernel. when a node starts up for the first time, we must wait till the kernel has enough entropy for generating good ssh-keys. is it a good idea to have some wifi-action for generating entropy? (e.g. a wifi scan) before generating keys? b
