Introduction
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.
