Chocobo1 requested to merge chocobo1/hostapd:random into main Oct 15, 2024

Using getrandom system call is faster than reading from /dev/random and doesn't require a file descriptor.

Ubuntu also enables it: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/tree/debian/config/hostapd/linux?id=dd3cefa946a1fa14c957606bb016af801f7d6d44#n259
