Re: Wlantest 1.0 : An automatic wireless tool for ConnMan
It's great to see wlantest. Yes configuring AP is a key issue to prevent wifi autotest. And mac80211_hwsim + hostapd is a good solution. Thank you for your interest. I have several questions: 1. Do you plan to run wlantest regularly? Yes, we plan to run wlantest everyday in a virtual machine generated from our daily software image. I am currently deploying the script on testing servers. 2. Is wlantest and connman run in host machine, and mac80211_hwsim run in VM? I thought that mac80211_hwsim just supports operations between virtual hwsim interfaces in the same machine. You are right, mac80211_hwsim only creates a virtual radio between interfaces in the same machine. wlantest, connman and hostapd actually run in the same host and this design is imposed by mac80211_hwsim. 3. If both connman and mac80211_hwsim run in the same machine, will connman automatically manage the virtual interface for hostapd? If this is true, is there conflict for IP address between connman and hostapd+dhcpd? For now, i must run Connman with -I option to ignore the hostapd interface. I didn't try to let connman manage the AP interface, mainly because the purpose is to simulate an AP on a different host. (at least independant from Connman). dhcpd is configured to send offer on this specific interface that's why I don't think it may interfere with Connman. ___ connman mailing list connman@connman.net http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman

RE: Wlantest 1.0 : An automatic wireless tool for ConnMan
Hi Maxence Viallon Hi, I have been working for the last 2 month with Julien Massot on Wlantest, an automatic wireless testing tool written in Python for ConnMann. I think it might be relevant for some people working with Connman to have a look at the first release (1.0). Github link : https://github.com/aldebaran/wlantest It was initially designed to be run on a daily basis on Nao robots to check ConnMan stability. We are currently running Wlantest inside a Nao virtual machine where we setup virtual interfaces with mac80211_hwsim. It's great to see wlantest. Yes configuring AP is a key issue to prevent wifi autotest. And mac80211_hwsim + hostapd is a good solution. I have several questions: 1. Do you plan to run wlantest regularly? 2.
