As far as I'm concerned the command wps_pbc simulates the button pressed, so it's not really necessary the device has a push button, but I may be talking something wrong, I'll investigate this. Anyway, the idea is first implement the pbc method because it's easier than pin, but after this we can implement the pin method too. > > >connection will be done without use the Group concept, I mean, both > >peers will use the command connect and one of them will be chosen the > >Group Owner, instead of one Peer create a Group and the other Peer join > >into this Group.
