Hi Bastian,back then I tried to published it under GPL but the legal department of my institution did not like it.......... Perhaps now, after 2 years I can give a try again :)
Anw, if some of you need more info on this I will be glad to help. Cheers! On 12/06/2016 01:47 PM, Bastian Bloessl wrote:

The SDR IEEE 802.11 implementation can be configured as AP using hostapd or adhoc via the network manager. We had some problems making it work as a normal client however. Our approach has a kernel module that provides an interface for receiving and sending PDUs from/to SDR PHY. Internally, the kernel module communicates with the mac80211 for passing around these PDUs.wow that sounds cool. Would it be possible to share the code? I would love to give this a try.Best, BastianOn 12/06/2016 06:21 AM, Bastian Bloessl wrote:Hi,On 5 Dec 2016, at 21:10, sumitstop <address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden>> wrote: Has anyone tried integration of gr-ieee 802.11 with Linux stack (wpa_supplicant)?I guess no, but since it doesn’t have a standard compliant MAC layer that might be of limited benefit. If you really want to look into integrating it in Linux, I would implement it as virtual WiFi device, similar to hwsim (https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/mac80211_hwsim). Then the higher layer stuff like hostap and wpa_supplicant would just work out of the box. Best, Bastian
