Automation of testing using mac80211_hwsim and Orbit Hello Linux wireless users and kernel developers, Luis, John and Johannes, this is the first status report of the "Automation of testing using mac80211_hwsim and Orbit", which is kindly sponsored by Google in the Summer of Code program and mentored by the Linux Foundation. http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/developers/GSoC/2009/Automation_of_testing http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/linux_foundation/t124022664044 In the first week, I did implement a ground base for the testing command line tool, which is written in Python and will create statistics from the test set and later on collect them and provide nice statistics. The installer, some basic commands and the parser are finished and I did translate some of the available tests (link from Luis) to Python. Moreover I have concentrated on creating new tests and adding the loading of kernel modules and setting options to the program. By the end of the week, I did start to have some strange problems with running hostapd (via nl80211) and using the mac80211_hwsim kernel driver. In case that someone did run into that problem with 2.6.30-rc5,6,7 + latest git and latest git of hostap / wpa_supplicant, it would be great to have a feedback on that. One of the first tasks for the new week will be the creation of a wiki documentation and also an introduction how to check out the code, run some tests locally and also send feedbacks / bug reports. Like planned, I will continue to extend the test scenario by adding more tests and also functionality to the command line test tool.
