* mac80211_hwsim: suggest nl80211 instead of wext driver in documentationLinus Lüssing2016-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | For mac80211_hwsim interfaces, suggest to use wpa_supplicant with the more modern, netlink based driver instead of wext. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211_hwsim: Update documentation (AP mode enabled)Jouni Malinen2008-11-211-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | AP mode is now enabled in mac80211, so there is no need to point users to an additional patch to enable the mode. In addition, add a pointer to more hwsim test cases in hostap.git. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* mac80211_hwsim: 802.11 radio simulator for mac80211Jouni Malinen2008-06-143-0/+89
mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool.
