Hello, Sorry for sending this so late I was a bit busy, but here is the next step. I know there are a lot of patches in this series compared to the previous ones but it was hard to make smaller. I actually split as much as I could the commits so the review process should not be too difficult, thanks to the relative shortness of each diff. Now that we can discover our peer coordinators or make ourselves dynamically discoverable, we may use the information about surrounding devices to create PANs dynamically. This involves of course: * Requesting an association to a coordinator, waiting for the response * Sending a disassociation notification to a coordinator * Receiving an association request when we are coordinator, answering the request (for now all devices are accepted up to a limit, to be refined) * Sending a disassociation notification to a child * Users may request the list of associated devices (the parent and the children). Here are a few example of userspace calls that can be made: iwpan dev <dev> associate pan_id 2 coord $COORD iwpan dev <dev> list_associations iwpan dev <dev> disassociate ext_addr $COORD I used a small using hwsim to scan for a coordinator, associate with it, look at the associations on both sides, disassociate from it and check the associations again: ./assoc-demo *** Scan *** PAN 0x0002 (on wpan1) coordinator 0x060f3b35169a498f page 0 channel 13 preamble code 0 mean prf 0 superframe spec. 0xcf11 LQI ff *** End of scan *** Associating wpan1 with coord0 0x060f3b35169a498f... Dumping coord0 assoc: child : 0x0b6f / 0xba7633ae47ccfb21 Dumping wpan1 assoc: parent: 0xffff / 0x060f3b35169a498f Disassociating from wpan1 Dumping coord0 assoc: Dumping wpan1 assoc: I could also successfully interact with a smaller device running Zephir, using its command line interface to associate and then disassociate from the Linux coordinator. Thanks!
