Description

  1. Test case:
    https://bugzilla.suse.com/tr_show_case.cgi?case_id=1767503 (wpa_supplicant)

  2. Sequence case:
    https://bugzilla.suse.com/tr_show_case.cgi?case_id=1767536 (wireless Lan)

  3. Kernel Module for mac80211
    https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/mac80211_hwsim

  4. Checked the QEMU default setting, it seems not support the Wireless Lan device,
    Could need to investigate if mac80211_hwsim can work for it.

Thanks @Xiaojing to get some helpful information from @Oliver.

There are some tests for openSUSE Tumbleweed about the wireless test (in x11/network),
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?arch=x86_64&distri=opensuse&flavor=DVD&machine=64bit&test=extra_tests_gnome&version=Tumbleweed

It is a good example of applying mac80211_hwsim in wifi tests. But it is not the direct test we need for FIPS testing about wpa_supplicanat operating in wlan interface.

Need to learn more about it ahead:

  1. mac80211_hwsim kernel module
  2. hostapd (Turns Your WLAN Card into a WPA capable Access Point)

It's worthy to refer the test to Test wpa_supplicant on the virtual wifi interface too.

./tests/console/wpa_supplicant.pm

Currently, there is still lack of real hardware to do the test.

openQA: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8752521#step/wpa_supplicant/32
Bug: bsc#1198892 - [Build 137.1] openQA test fails in wpa_supplicant - Missing PackageHub package: hostapd cap:hostapd not foundz

  • Status changed from New to Blocked

Currenty, there is no hardware can be supported to test and also Viktor mentioned there is no hardware in Cert team.

We can consider this as low priority, and if we can test it if we are available later and use the virtual network.

  • Status changed from Blocked to Rejected

I think we can reject this test as the Certification team don't have hardware for testing and it's not necessary for Certification.
