There are real devices (wlan0, wlan1, etc.); there is also a real
driver (mac80211_hwsim), the only thing that's a bit tricky is that
there is no real bus. My impression is that such devices might belong
to /sys/bus/platform/ ?

I figured it out, it works well now. I'll send the patch to the
lists/maintainers, and CC: Dan and you.

Thanks,

Martin
