That would be quite useful addition for automated tests that anyone can
run.

I've started collecting test cases for mac80211_hwsim. It would be
interesting to see whether these could be integrated into LTP somehow
and allow people to run a set of tests in fully scripted way. These
tests are described in hostap.git tree mac80211_hwsim/tests
subdirectories:
http://w1.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=tree;f=mac80211_hwsim/tests

The current instructions for running the commands (*/test.txt) are more
for a person than a script, but the changes to get test running would be
trivial (i.e., just run hostapd and wpa_supplicant on background).
Larger task is in adding some functionality to verify that the test
passed and then finish with cleaning up (killing daemons from background
and unload mac80211_hwsim).
