Re: [PATCH 1/3] doc: add documentation for P2P related API modifications
Hey Tomasz, +boolean P2P [readwrite] + +This option allows to enable or disable the support +for P2P wireless network also known as WiFi Direct. + +When P2P is enabled scanning will scan for P2P peer +clients as well. Ok + +string P2PIdentifier [readwrite] + +This option allows to set the name of the device +used in P2P communication. Why not using system's hostname directly? At least as a default value. I remember we had the same discussion about wifi tethering SSID. Btw, you might add that this is available only for wifi technology. Good idea. Will add the mark as both properties being available for wifi technology only. regards, Simon -- Simon Busch - http://mm.gravedo.de/blog/ ___ connman mailing list connman@connman.net https://lists.connman.net/mailman/listinfo/connman

Will add the mark as both properties being available for wifi technology only. I would actually prefer we are not trying to overload the technology interface. Can we just create a new technology for P2P. Then on/off switch is simple and straight forward. Also the identifier can come from hostnamed and its pretty name.

But isn't P2P bound to the wifi technology? Cause when wifi is off we can't enable P2P. that is for us to solve internally. Not a problem of the end user. However the way this works is that the WiFi hardware needs to be activated. The actual wlan0 netdev for example can be happily be down for P2P operation. The phy itself does not have an on/off switch besides RFKILL. So yes, rfkill WiFi, will also rfkill P2P, but so be it. We can still enforce WiFi off by keeping the wlan0 netdev down and only using P2P. It just means that if one of these technologies is enabled, the phy has to be enabled (and not rfkilled).
