wpa_supplicant: Experimenting with wifi_display

[Mike Auty]

Hi there,

I've recently been trying out the wifi_display support in wpa_supplicant
(I just tested this with wpa_supplicant-2.1).  I realize from the lack
of documentation that this is still under development and not at all
ready for bug posts or similar, but I thought I'd try it and see where I
could get to in its current state.

There appear to be a number of calls that don't sufficiently check the
validity of the variables they're handed, and attempting to use
openwfd_p2pd I end up segfaulting in p2p_set_wfd_dev_info in p2p.c.
Tracing the call back (full bt attached for those that are interested) I
get to wifi_display_update_wfd_ie in wifi_display.c which had global
with p2p as null (global from gdb attached too).

The list of commands openwfd uses are as follows:

GET wifi_display
SET ap_scan 1
SET device_name some-random-name
SET device_type 1-0050F204-1
SET wifi_display 1

That last one triggers the segfault, presumably because no p2p
connection has been setup already?  My knowledge of Wifi Direct is
limited though, so that's about as far as i can get.

Has anyone else gotten wifi_display to work?  If so are they using
custom software or openwfd?  Is openwfd making the right calls to
wpa_supplicant?  If so, could someone help me figure out why p2p isn't
being setup properly, and where it should be setup for this call?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  5:)
