I'll look at the code, it seems to me that I actually want to be able to configure to not reject unknown stations but put them into their own VLAN, or something, then this feature could actually be useful in production. > I started collecting mac80211_hwsim test cases into mac80211_hwsim/tests > directory in hostap.git.

I'm not so much worried about starting/stopping them, you can easily write a small program or so that simply forks and then runs them in the foreground so that it has control over them and knows what PIDs they have etc. The validation is a bit harder, you can listen for wext events, but you can't even try pinging between the interfaces... Maybe the validation should check what's going on on the "air". johannes
