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.

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 [email protected] http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman
