Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing --- Actually, I wasn't even able to make a connection with the configuration files and information provided in Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/{README,hostapd.conf/wpa_supplicant.conf} Changing -Dwext to -Dnl80211 helped and made the WPA-PSK connection with mac80211_hwsim interfaces work for me. --- Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/README | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/README b/Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/README index 24ac91d..3566a72 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/README +++ b/Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/README @@ -60,7 +60,7 @@ modprobe mac80211_hwsim hostapd hostapd.conf # Run wpa_supplicant (station) for wlan1 -wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan1 -c wpa_supplicant.conf +wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan1 -c wpa_supplicant.conf More test cases are available in hostap.git: -- 2.1.4
