- Allow configuration of MAC address or list of MAC addresses
The radios are auto-generating a fake MAC address. It would be useful
to allow specifying a MAC address to be used. In certain cases it might
be also useful to provide a list of MAC addresses so that for example
with secondary interfaces these can be used.
Priority: Low
Complexity: C2
- Move mac80211_hwsim.h header file to UAPI includes
The mac80211_hwsim.h is the public API description of this netlink
interface and thus it should be provided via UAPI includes.
For this work work the mac80211_hwsim.h header needs to be modified
so that it also compiles from userspace. At the moment it throws
errors. And it needs to become part of the UAPI headers of the
Linux kernel.
In addition it should provide HWSIM_GENL_NAME that provides the
generic netlink "MAC82011_HWSIM" family string.

Complexity: C1
- Provide kernel option to allow defining the number of initial radios
By default the mac80211_hwsim modules creates 2 radios by default unless

For our testing we want to load mac80211_hwsim without any radios. Maybe
this should be the default for the new kernel option.
If the default of initial radios can be changed to zero, then it is also
possible to add MODULE_ALIAS_GENL_FAMILY to support auto-loading of
the mac80211_hwsim kernel module.
