* docs: net: convert two README files to ReST formatMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-07-311-68/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two README files there with doesn't have a .txt extension nor are at ReST format. In order to help with the docs conversion to ReST, rename those and manually convert them to ReST format. As there are lot more to be done for networking to be part of the documentation body, for now mark those two files with :orphan:, in order to supress a build warning.

* mac80211_hwsim: suggest nl80211 instead of wext driver in documentationLinus Lüssing2016-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | For mac80211_hwsim interfaces, suggest to use wpa_supplicant with the more modern, netlink based driver instead of wext. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211_hwsim: Update documentation (AP mode enabled)Jouni Malinen2008-11-211-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | AP mode is now enabled in mac80211, so there is no need to point users to an additional patch to enable the mode. In addition, add a pointer to more hwsim test cases in hostap.git. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* mac80211_hwsim: 802.11 radio simulator for mac80211Jouni Malinen2008-06-141-0/+68
mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool.
