This would be a "wlanX" equivalent in UML - hostapd being the base for the top parts, and the uml_switch-replacement + new backend doing the functions which typically are done by the 802.11 firmware itself. uml_switch can't help you. It isn't a trivial undertaking, and I have been seeking funding for it. I have two partial funders for this work. - -- ] ON HUMILITY: to err is human.
