Subject: [PATCH] mac80211_hwsim: suggest nl80211 instead of wext driver in documentation
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 00:39:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161016223933.9484-1-linus.luessing@c0d3.blue> (raw)
For mac80211_hwsim interfaces, suggest to use wpa_supplicant with the more
modern, netlink based driver instead of wext.
Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue>

Actually, I wasn't even able to make a connection with the configuration
files and information provided in
Documentation/networking/mac80211_hwsim/{README,hostapd.conf/wpa_supplicant.conf}
Changing -Dwext to -Dnl80211 helped and made the WPA-PSK connection with
mac80211_hwsim interfaces work for me.
