RE: Linux-Wpan-Next: Regarding usage of fakelb driver

Dear Alex,

Greetings!!

Thanks for detailed information!! I was able to bring up bluetooth_next/ fakelb/iwpan and wpan ping tool in linux machine with the information provided.

Further, I am trying to come up with virtual network (for eample pinging of IPV6 packets between two virtual nodes- packets going thorugh all the layes down to Phy layer and coming back to top layer) using fakelb on LInux machine itself.

I have seen that for earlier zigbee-linux ,we had detailed steps to demonstrate the functionality of the stack without real hardware, as given at below path :

http://linux-zigbee.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/GettingStarted-0.2

Do we have something similar for the latest bluetooth-linux kernel which can help me to simulate WPAN network and verify messaging in LInux machine using fakelb / Or any information available if it has been tried by someone earlier?

Currently, I am analysing same, so just thought to check if some information on this already exist.

Note : So far, I am following the commands http://wpan.cakelab.org/#_how_to_8217_s and reached till this point. Now, further I want to simulate some network activity within Linux machine.

Regards,
Anoop

No, this is part of userspace you need to build it by yourself.

Newest release is 0.5 [0].

It's using autotools as buildsystem so a normal:

./confgure
make
(as root) make install

See [1].

should be enough, we have one dependency to libnl3. See [2], this should
be provided from your distribution which you install. (It's a common
library for networking utilities).
