[Olsr-users] DLEP Radio test: Can mac80211_hwsim help?

[Vigneswaran R]

Hi,

I am running DLEP radio on a linux host and DLEP router inside a virtual 
machine (VM) running on that host. The VM's host side tap interface is 
bridged with a (simulated) wifi device on the host.

I am able to query DLEP radio for layer2info (as I mentioned earlier in 
this mail chain). However, how to verify whether the radio and router 
components are communicating and sharing data?

Also, do we need to assign IP to any of the interfaces on the radio side 
(wlan, tap, bridge)? as of now, I haven't set IP address to any of them.
