Hello,
Our organization is planning to implement some kind of WiFi test harness. It’s going to be and FOSS therefore using LTP comes as one of the obvious choices. For beginning we’re planning to use mac80211_hwsim. I was browsing the archive of LTP in search for anything related for WiFi/WLAN and found rather little information – most recent one dated 2009.
Latest post on WiFi in LTP list I’ve found is this:
The only other thread I’ve found on WiFi is the one about mesh (but it has some information on proposed way forward for wireless as whole):
(2) http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20189102
We may be able to extend the hostapd’s mac80211_hwsim/tests proposed by Jouni (http://w1.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=tree;f=mac80211_hwsim/tests) and integrate it to LTP.
Q1) We must know if it is work that community would benefit from(?).
* Since there’s not much about this for last 3 years it was presumably not too important.
Q2) Is the latest message from Subrata Modak on the second thread above the way to go?
* (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20192822)
Q3) If not then what would be the preferred way forward?
I’d be thankful for any information with regards to LTP WiFi related matters, especially if there was any off-record follow-up for any of the two discussions referred to above.
