Hi,
What is the current status of wlan automated tests?
I found 3 started projects:
1. wifi-test:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Testing/wifi-test
But it looks dead. Last commit is from 2010.
2. LTP:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/19759
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ltp/7884
The last comment I found was from 2009 from Luis R. Rodriguez:
"The GSoC student fell off from the face of the earth without even notice so the project was never finished. The project is up for grabs for anyone now to implement."
Is that still valid?
3. Chromium Wifi tests:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/57576
The problem is they are designed to test chromium OS so it looks like they can't be used for purpose described here:
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/en/Google_Summer_of_Code_2009#Automation_of_testing_using_mac80211_hwsim_and_Orbit
"Ideally we'd like to see automated tests run weekly to ensure there are no regressions for basic functionality. To test mac80211 and cfg80211 we can use and advance mac80211_hwsim as required without the need to actually use hardware."
I'm planning to use and extend one of these projects and I'd like to know which one is preferable.
Any hints?
Pozdrawiam / Best regards,
Piotr

There's not a whole lot of documentation floating around externally,
however that should change fairly soon. Since, as you say, this stuff
is fairly customized for ChromeOS as-is, no effort has been made to
push the core of the WiFi tests upstream.

It should be reasonably straightforward to use this setup with
something other than ChromeOS. Most of the work required to do so
would circle around creating platform-specific routines used to
establish and monitor status of connections -- the
site_wlan_connect.py and site_wlan_wait_state.py scripts.

This is definitely dead.

I don't know about this.

But I think this is probably the best one to extend.
Just earlier today I was thinking about nl80211-based tests like "scan
with the maximum IE length advertised" etc. I guess this would be
worthwhile to add into the test suite somehow.

Indeed, in fact I'm hoping somewhere out there AP mode operation can
be extended to the framework by some entity.

That's pretty awesome, what is the source of documentation for this?
Is code pushed back upstream to autotest now ?
