Hi,
I am studying wireless mesh networks and wanted to play with open80211s.
As a part of my study, I want to demo, multiple nodes on a mesh
network and analyze the traffic in wireshark
Unfortunately I don't have many physical nodes so I'm looking for a
way to emulate them.
So far I've learnt that vmware and virtual box don't support virtual
wireless network adapters.
Any other suggestion that would make creating a wireless mesh network
for study purposes quick and painless?
Thanks a lot,
Joel

mac80211_hwsim claims mesh support...

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/mac80211_hwsim
plus network namespaces, on a very new kernel where that actually works
(like current wireless-testing)
