<title>Implement a simulated 802.11 wireless radio</title>
<desc>
<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a
href="mailto:rpaulo@FreeBSD.org">Rui Paulo</a></p>
<p>The FreeBSD 802.11 layer, net80211, implements a broad range of
advanced functionality: station, access point, virtual access
point, mesh networking, authentication/encryption, and more. This
task implements a net80211 driver simulating a wireless radio in
order to allow protocol-layer testing without the hassle of real
life hardware limitations: interference, signal propagation, and
regulatory domains. The driver should let the user specify a
number of radios to be simulated, with an eye towards future work
to simulate physical properties.</p>
<p>A useful reference for this work would be the notionally similar
mac80211_hwsim driver in Linux
(http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/mac80211_hwsim), which
might provide a model in some areas of the work, and has similarly
been used on that platform to test hostapd/wpa_supplication.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Good knowledge of C.</li>
<li>Wireless networking fundamentals.</li>
