I finally figured out what we could do in next step.
The inspiration from the following slides Virtual WiFi: Bring Virtualization from Wired to Wireless

Our target is to ensure that the real-chip driver can run on the guest OS and that the vwifi driver can support as a backend driver which is running on the host Linux KVM or QEMU

However, the target is too big. What can we do as the first step, or what is a simpler scenario could advise?

I have figured out a rather simple scenario here: https://hackmd.io/@rickywu0421/vwifi_virtio. Please take a look.

Please see #PR45, and note that I haven't modified the https://hackmd.io/@rickywu0421/vwifi_virtio for a while, so please do not look into it :)

Raizo62/vwifi simulates Wi-Fi (802.11) between Linux Virtual Machines.

  • It can be used in Hypervisors (GNS3, QEmu, Virtualbox, VMware, Hyper-V, ...)
  • The Wireless emulator uses the mac80211_hwsim linux driver
  • Implements the packet loss simulation based on distance
  • Emulates the node mobility in GNS3
