Issue:
Right now, connman doesn't have a mechanism to handle wifi tethering fail.
In a multiply WIFI NICs platform, connman will just try to set tethering
only at the first NIC in iface_list. But if the first NIC doesn't create AP
properly, connman will not try at the next one.This patches series
introduces a tethering fail handling mechanism. With this patch series,
connman will try on every NICs in iface_list until a tethering success happen.
Fix:
When tethering success happens, wpa_supplicant will signal interface state
change
from G_SUPPLICANT_STATE_DISCONNECTED to G_SUPPLICANT_STATE_COMPLETED.If
tethering
fail happens, the state will change from G_SUPPLICANT_STATE_DISCONNECTED to
G_SUPPLICANT_STATE_DISCONNECTED.
Patch 1 enhance gsupplicant layer, so that gsupplicant can detect tethering
success or fail. when fail case happen, it will callback through
ap_create_fail.
Patch 2 add tethering fail handling to wifi layer. When fail happen, wifi layer
will
try at the next NIC. Until tethering success or finish traversal to
iface_list
Niu,Bing (2):
Gsupplicant: add new callback interface_ap_create_fail to notify ap
create fail case
Wifi: add AP create fail handling mechanism
