Step-by-step guide for setting up hostapd/wpa_supplicant test framework (VM)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document can be used as a quick guide for getting started with
hostapd/wpa_supplicant test framework with mac80211_hwsim. While the
example here uses Ubuntu 22.04 desktop to have a list of exact steps,
there are no requirements for using that specific distribution in the
testing setup.
The steps here describe how to run a guest VM for testing on a Linux
host system.
Install Ubuntu 22.04 as the host system for VMs
- download installation image
- install the host system with default settings
- boot to the installed system
- update the installed packages:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Install the prerequisite packages that may not have been installed by default
# build tools
sudo apt install build-essential git libpcap-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev \
libcurl4-openssl-dev libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libnl-route-3-dev \
libsqlite3-dev binutils-dev libiberty-dev zlib1g-dev libpcsclite-dev \
flex bison libconfig-dev
# tools used be the test scripts
sudo apt install net-tools bridge-utils ebtables iw tshark \
python3-openssl python3-pyrad python3-cryptography python3-pycryptodome
# If using kvm and VM instead of UML (though, UML is the recommended option)
# kvm for running the VM guests
sudo apt install qemu-kvm
#Enable kvm use for the user
sudo adduser $USER kvm
Download a snapshot of the hostap.git repository and build the programs
cd
git clone git://w1.fi/hostap.git
cd hostap/tests/hwsim
./build.sh
cd vm
cat > vm-config <<EOF
KERNELDIR=~/wireless-next
MEMORY=512
KVMARGS="-cpu host"
EOF
Build a Linux kernel for testing
cd
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-next.git
cd wireless-next
cp ~/hostap/tests/hwsim/vm/kernel-config.uml .config
make ARCH=um oldconfig
make -j8 ARCH=um
Build wmediumd for testing
cd
git clone https://github.com/bcopeland/wmediumd.git
cd wmediumd
make
sudo cp wmediumd/wmediumd /usr/local/bin
Build sigma_dut for testing
cd
git clone https://github.com/qca/sigma-dut.git
cd sigma_dut
make
cd ~/hostap/tests/hwsim
ln -s ~/sigma_dut/sigma_dut
ln -s ~/sigma_dut/dpp-ca.py
Setup is now ready for testing. You can run a quick test to confirm that
things work as expected:
cd ~/hostap/tests/hwsim/vm
./vm-run ap_open
This should print out following style results:
Starting test run in a virtual machine
./run-all.sh: passing the following args to run-tests.py: ap_open
START ap_open 1/1
PASS ap_open 0.924019 2017-01-28 20:20:12.137717
passed all 1 test case(s)
ALL-PASSED
Test run completed
Logfiles are at /tmp/hwsim-test-logs/1485634801
(If that "PASS ap_open" line does not show up, something unexpected has
happened and the setup is not in working condition.)
To run all available test cases in 7 parallel VMs, you can run
following:
cd ~/hostap/tests/hwsim/vm
./parallel-vm.py 7
