mac80211_hwsim: Remove forgotten files
These live in the Linux kernel tree with mac80211_hwsim.c that was already removed from hostap.git. The notes and example configuration files are in Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim directory, so remove the unnecessarily duplicated files from hostap.git.

Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
The main goal for mac80211_hwsim is to make it easier for developers
|
||||
to test their code and work with new features to mac80211, hostapd,
|
||||
and wpa_supplicant. The simulated radios do not have the limitations
|
||||
of real hardware, so it is easy to generate an arbitrary test setup
|
||||
and always reproduce the same setup for future tests. In addition,
|
||||
since all radio operation is simulated, any channel can be used in
|
||||
tests regardless of regulatory rules.
|
||||
|
||||
mac80211_hwsim kernel module has a parameter 'radios' that can be used
|
||||
to select how many radios are simulates (default 2). This allows
|
||||
configuration of both very simply setups (e.g., just a single access
|
||||
point and a station) or large scale tests (multiple access points with
|
||||
hundreds of stations).
|
||||
|
||||
mac80211_hwsim works by tracking the current channel of each virtual
|
||||
radio and copying all transmitted frames to all other radios that are
|
||||
currently enabled and on the same channel as the transmitting
|
||||
radio. Software encryption in mac80211 is used so that the frames are
|
||||
actually encrypted over the virtual air interface to allow more
|
||||
complete testing of encryption.
|
||||
|
||||
A global monitoring netdev, hwsim#, is created independent of
|
||||
mac80211. This interface can be used to monitor all transmitted frames
|
||||
regardless of channel.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Simple example
|
||||
|
||||
This example shows how to use mac80211_hwsim to simulate two radios:
|
||||
one to act as an access point and the other as a station that
|
||||
associates with the AP. hostapd and wpa_supplicant are used to take
|
||||
care of WPA2-PSK authentication. In addition, hostapd is also
|
||||
processing access point side of association.
|
||||
|
||||
# Load the module (needs to be built into your kernel)
|
||||
modprobe mac80211_hwsim
|
||||
|
||||
# Run hostapd (AP) for wlan0
|
||||
hostapd hostapd.conf
|
||||
|
||||
# Run wpa_supplicant (station) for wlan1
|
||||
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan1 -c wpa_supplicant.conf
