This project has its own mailing list.

wifi-test 1.0 covers following wireless features:

• BSS: BSS association, fragmentation/RTS/CTS, BSS channels etc
• IBSS: IBSS association, IBSS fragmentation/RTS/CTS, IBSS channels.
• Security: WEP (BSS/IBSS), WPA/WPA2, 802.1X.
• Power management: S3/S4, RFKILL
• Performance: upload/download speed for different combinations.
• Others: Wext mode, nl80211 mode
• 802.11 a/b/g/n: Above features in a/b/g/n band.

The minimum testing system requirements are listed below.

• Two test machines: One as test machine, the other as peer machine in IBSS network testing. If only BSS is tested, one test machine is enough.
• One server machine: The server machine needs two Ethernet cards, one connects to the Test machine network and the other to the AP network.
• One AP: Support Cisco AP, Dlink and ASUS AP with CLI (Command Line Interface). For example, Dlink DWL-8200 AP and Cisco1200 series AP. Here is an example of our test environment:
