I've started collecting test cases for mac80211_hwsim. It would be interesting to see whether these could be integrated into LTP somehow and allow people to run a set of tests in fully scripted way. These tests are described in hostap.git tree mac80211_hwsim/tests subdirectories: http://w1.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=tree;f=mac80211_hwsim/tests The current instructions for running the commands (*/test.txt) are more for a person than a script, but the changes to get test running would be trivial (i.e., just run hostapd and wpa_supplicant on background). Larger task is in adding some functionality to verify that the test passed and then finish with cleaning up (killing daemons from background and unload mac80211_hwsim). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA
