Hello, This series follows the work done in the Linux kernel stack: now that the core knows about the different netlink commands and attributes in order to support scanning and beaconing requests from end-to-end, here are the userspace changes to be able to use it. Here is a list of the new available features. * Sending (or stopping) beacons. Intervals ranging from 0 to 14 are valid for passively sending beacons at regular intervals. An interval of 15 would request the core to answer BEACON_REQ. # iwpan dev coord0 beacons send interval 2 # send BEACON at a fixed rate # iwpan dev coord0 beacons send interval 15 # answer BEACON_REQ only # iwpan dev coord0 beacons stop # apply to both cases * Scanning all the channels or only a subset: # iwpan dev wpan1 scan type passive duration 3 # will not trigger BEACON_REQ # iwpan dev wpan1 scan type active duration 3 # will trigger BEACON_REQ * During scans, there is a dedicated netlink channel event to listen to in order to get events like "a new coordinator was discovered" or "the scan is over". When beacons from new devices are received, the tool would print something like: PAN 0xabcd (on coord1) coordinator 0xe673d7a3f3a87ccc page 0 channel 13 preamble code 0 mean prf 0 superframe spec. 0x4f11 LQI 0 * It is also possible to monitor the events with: # iwpan event * As well as triggering a non blocking scan: # iwpan dev wpan1 scan trigger type passive duration 3 # iwpan dev wpan1 scan done # iwpan dev wpan1 scan abort Associations will be handled in another series.
