Thank you for your interest.

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.

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.

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.
