wifi p2p question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Johannes,

I'm going to try wifi p2p on 2 laptops with latest kernel and wpa_supplicant.

Does wfi p2p only need software(driver/wpa_supplicant) support?
Or does it need some specific wifi hardware/firmware/microcode support?

>From wiki http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/p2p/howto:
(OR another device that has a mac80211 driver, but these are known to
work, iwlwifi does notcurrently work with any released microcode)

It looks like, in theory, all wifi hardware with a mac80211 driver should work.
Is my understanding correct?

Thanks,
Ming
