From acc1e7a3007ec1940374206a84465c1e0cfcda09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 10:42:31 +0300 Subject: mac80211_hwsim: 802.11 radio simulator for mac80211 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.
