Added new option that will enable remote access
to wpa_supplicant ctrl iface.
This should be used only for test purpose
because lack of authentication, but could
be very usefull for tests tools that could
configure wpa_supplicants remotly now.
This flag will enable feature:
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=udp-remote
Added changes to wpa_supplicant and also to
wpa_cli. Wpa_cli could be used now as a client:
eg.
wpa_cli -i <hostname>:[port]
wpa_cli -i <IP>:[port]
Also change ports range to allow multiple
wpa_supplicant instances and multiple VIFs.
Added also user friendly prompt to wpa_cli
when this feature is used, to be sure which
interface/host is used.
eg.
localhost/wlan0>
192.168.1.1/p2p-wlan-0-0>
I am using this during manual tests when manage
all PCs (supplicants) from one machine using
ethernet connection.
Please check and comment.
