Folks, Back in 2009 Intel had put out a wifi-test tree [0] but that seems deprecated now. The git tree at least is gone. Can someone confirm if that's dead? We later had Google present at the 2010 San Francisco wireless summit [1] their test infrastructure using autotest. Last I checked that stuff was not merged back upstream to autotest. Can someone confirm ? Lastly we have mac80211_hwsim [2] and also a slew of internal testing infrastructures that obviously are not open. If we are to embark on a new journey towards an open testing infrastructure what should be used? Ben, you have some stuff, and I know you also report some interesting bugs with insane amount of stations. Is any of it open? AFAICT mac80211_hwism should and likely already is used for a slew of core API changes / tests. Addressing testing using that shoud hopefully address tons of testings and find a lot of issues. We'd then just need vendors to replicate behaviour on top of their drivers. The core test stuff though still needs to be available. What do we have, anyone have any lofty plans?
We have a large testing infrastructure consisting of shielded boxes, attenuators, etc. It is all exercised using tcl scripts and none of it is open today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. The brcm80211 open-source drivers are tested limited but nightly using it.
I am considering coming up with a new test framework for the brcm80211 drivers using python scripting, which is why I started py80211 experiment (available on github), but your mentioning of autotest makes me want to revisit that.
