Hi Ilan,
I checkout the branch android-kk from hostap repository and tried the
wpa_supplicant command with -m option:
/system/bin/wpa_supplicant -dt -i wlan0 -Dnl80211 -
c/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf -pp2p_device=1 -
m/data/misc/wifi/p2p_supplicant.conf -O/data/misc/wifi/sockets -B
I got two interfaces in /data/misc/wifi/sockets
130|root@ar6mx:/ # ls /data/misc/wifi/sockets/
p2p-dev-wlan0
wlan0
However, the wpa_supplicant failed to create P2P_DEVICE wit error "Invalid
argumen". How can I debug this? Thanks.
