RE: Essentials/Dependencies for P2P from Laptop to Mobile Device
Hi Tomasz, I have the following details. WI-FI chip Intel Centrino Advanced N-6205 this confirmed from lshw and lspci. I have already compiled the wpa_supplicant with options related to P2P from documentation. Because when I run - scan p2p - I get an error - FAIL. Same is the case if I by-pass connman and check with wpa_cli utility. But According to Intel's Centrino Advanced N-6205 - it says - it does support WIFI-Direct - But I am not sure how to get it to work. I also have a Ubuntu 12.10 on a Lenovo T540p which has Atheros chip for wifi. On this laptop - When I run scan p2p from connmand or wpa_cli I do get a success. But p2p connect and other connect functionalities do not work. Could this be something related to wpa_supplicant or still a driver or firmware issue ? So from both ends Connmand and wpa_cli I get same results for Atheros based Laptop .

Essentials/Dependencies for P2P from Laptop to Mobile Device
Hi All, I am trying to configure or use connman to connect my LenovoT530 Laptop which runs a Ubuntu 14.10(64Bit) with a Samsung or Asus Zenfone or Sony Mobile device over Wifi-Direct or P2P. However, P2P does not connect from either end, i.e Mobile to Laptop and vice-versa. I wanted to know what are the dependencies like 1) Wifi Driver 2) Chip support 3) Correct procedure to do this 4) Or Anything else which is required. #iw list (Shows me) Supported TX frame types: * P2P-client: 0x00 0x10 0x20 0x30 0x40 0x50 0x60 0x70 0x80 0x90 0xa0 0xb0 0xc0 0xd0 0xe0 0xf0 * P2P-GO: 0x00 0x10 0x20 0x30 0x40 0x50 0x60 0x70 0x80 0x90 0xa0 0xb0 0xc0 0xd0 0xe0 0xf0 * P2P-device: 0x00 0x10 0x20 0x30 0x40 0x50 0x60 0x70 0x80 0x90 0xa0 0xb0 0xc0 0xd0 0xe0 0xf0 Supported RX frame types: * P2P-client: 0x40 0xd0 * P2P-GO: 0x00 0x20 0x40 0xa0 0xb0 0xc0 0xd0 * P2P-device: 0x40 0xd0 Any help in this direction will be helpful.

RE: Essentials/Dependencies for P2P from Laptop to Mobile Device
Thanks. Tomasz. This information helped. I will check and reply after upgrading to newer kernel and firmware.

Ath9k started to work reliably only recently (a year or so), if you can upgrade all (kernel and firmwar), in addition of wpa_supplicant, this could fix you issue. So from both ends Connmand and wpa_cli I get same results for Atheros based Laptop . Of course yes. Wpa_supplicant is the one that deals with the kernel/driver.
