Hi,
I'm still working improving the scan behavior of NM. Yes, I'm
terrible slow. One thing which would help for this work is to
simulate the wireless medium.
Below is my humble try to get a knob for enabling/disabling
tx/rx. The variable name 'medium' is not really good, though
I didn't come up with something better.
Writing a 0 to /debug/ieee80211/phy*/hwsim/medium enables rx/tx for
the specific phy. Writing anything but 0 disables rx/tx. Not a very
good API. It could be made something more realistic like reception
quality is 80% associated some statistical dropping algorithm. Any
thoughts?
Is this the right direction I'm heading to?
thanks,
daniel
