Hi,
I'm trying to setup wifi direct but I'm unable to launch wpa_supplicant.
OS : Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 kernel 3.5.0-25-generic
Dongle Wifi : Netgear model wna1000m
Driver : 8192cu (latest driver provided by Realtek :
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true)
wpa_suplicant : version 0.8.x (provided by Realtek with the driver)
wifi p2p: enabled with "iwpriv wlan1 p2p_set enable=1"
wpa_sulicant has been built with these options (.config file):
CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y
CONFIG_WPS=y
CONFIG_WPS2=y
CONFIG_P2P=y
CONFIG_AP=y
CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y
CONFIG_BACKEND=file
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DBUS=y
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DBUS_NEW=y
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DBUS_INTRO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y
wpa_supplicant is launched with these parameters
(/etc/wpa_supplicant_wlan1.conf) :
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
device_name=Netgear Dongle wlan1

Since I followed the linux kernel wireless how to
(http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/p2p/howto) and Realtek
documentation (availlable with the driver) without getting better
results I figured that you might have an idea.
Thanks,
