This adds a simple roam test script. It uses the supplicant wpa_cli utility to interact with your existing session. You can either use Network Manager and connect to an ESS or use wpa_supplicant manually and connect to an ESS, in both cases you need to hand pick an ESS by SSID and support the control interface of the supplicant. The script will just force a roam onto all the APs on the ESS in round robin, sleeping 2 seconds between each roam. If you are not testing signal drops you can use this to move around APs without walking around a building. Cc: Paul Stewart <pstew@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- The wifi-test.git tree is down right now.. so if you want to test this you can download the script from: http://bombadil.infradead.org/~mcgrof/test-roam for now. This script let me find a bug, I'll post the oops shortly. simple/test-roam | 66 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 66 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100755 simple/test-roam diff --git a/simple/test-roam b/simple/test-roam new file mode 100755 index 0000000..9d1c0c4 --- /dev/null +++ b/simple/test-roam @@ -0,0 +1,66 @@ +#!/bin/bash +# Copyright (c) 2010 Luis R.
