We use a test environment for integration and regression testing, which allows us to run our networked applications in a simulated environment using many hosts. Something like [1], but based on the full set of (nested) Linux Namespaces. This has been working great to simulate wired networks (using veth and bridges). But as it runs unprivileged using user namespaces, we have hit these permission issues when we tried to integrate support for wireless radios using (the very cool) mac80211_hwsim. hwsim allows us to simulate complex wireless networks using an unmodified userspace software stack. > I'll need some time to review it, it'll likely have to wait until > next week given our holiday here on Thursday (and I'm also off work > tomorrow/Friday) Ok, great, looking forward to your feedback.
