Background
==========

- Priority scale: High, Medium and Low

- Complexity scale: C1, C2, C4 and C8.  The complexity scale is exponential,
  with complexity 1 being the lowest complexity.  Complexity is a function
  of both task 'complexity' and task 'scope'.

  The general rule of thumb is that a complexity 1 task should take 1-2 weeks
  for a person very familiar with the codebase.  Higher complexity tasks
  require more time and have higher uncertainty.

  Higher complexity tasks should be refined into several lower complexity tasks
  once the task is better understood.

==============

- Add support for returning HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_ID from HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO

  The HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO command should return HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO
  on success so that the radio id for the created wiphy can be mapped by
  test tools or when having to destroy that radio again.

  Priority: High
  Complexity: C1

- Add support for client tracking of HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO

  When using HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO command the newly created radio is
  not bound to the owner of the netlink socket.  This means that the radio
  stays around even after the client quits.  For testing tools it would
  be beneficial if the newly created radio could be bound to the lifetime
  of the netlink socket.

  Create a new HWSIM_ATTR_DESTROY_RADIO_ON_CLOSE (netlink flag attribute)
  that can be given to HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO to indicate this behavior.

  Priority: High
  Complexity: C1

- Rename HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO into HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO

  Using the name HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO is more fitting on how other pieces
  of the wireless system work.

  Rename the HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO entry in the enum and provde a define
  for source level comaptiblity.

  Priority: Medium
  Complexity: C1

- Rename HWSIM_CMD_DESTROY_RADIO into HWSIM_CMD_DEL_RADIO

  Using the name HWSIM_CMD_DEL_RADIO is more fitting on how other pieces
  of the wireless system work.

  Rename the HWSIM_CMD_DESTROY_RADIO entry in the enum and provde a define
  for source level comaptiblity.

  Priority: Medium
  Complexity: C1

- Provide multicast events for HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO and HWSIM_CMD_DEL_RADIO

  When adding new radios via HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO then listeners on the
  multicast group "config" should be informed.  Same as when an existing
  radio gets removed via HWSIM_CMD_DEL_RADIO, send event to "config"
  multicast group.

  The multicast group "config" does not exist at the moment and needs
  be introduced as well.

  Priority: Medium
  Complexity: C1

- Add support for HWSIM_CMD_GET_RADIO command

  Currently it is not possible to list the existing radio created by
  mac80211_hwsim.  Use the command to dump a list of radios where each
  radio at minimum containts the HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_ID.

  For the result HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO (previously HWSIM_CMD_CREATE_RADIO)
  should be used.

  The dump version should not require any attributes and list all radios
  while otherwise the HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_ID is required to provide details
  of a specific radio.

  Priority: Medium
  Complexity: C1

- Add support for HWSIM_CMD_SET_RADIO command

  To allow modifying an existing radio, add the HWSIM_CMD_SET_RADIO.  The
  first possible feature should be to emulate the hardware RFKILL switch.

  It might be required to add a HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_HW_RFKILL attribute flag
  to the HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO to enable virtual radios with a hardware
  level RFKILL switch.

  Priority: Medium
  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
  it is overwritten with the radios=x module parameter.

  To allow loading the mac80211_hwsim by default and even with accidental
  loading of the module, it would be good to provide a kernel configuration
  option that allows changing the default value here.

  For our testing we want to load mac80211_hwsim without any radios. Maybe
  this should be the default for the new kernel option.

  Priority: Low
  Complexity: C1

- New configuration options for radios

  At the moment the radios created are all equal and feature rich.  However
  for testing we want to create radios with different emulated hardware
  capabilities.  Provide new attributes or flags that allow enabling or
  disabling certain mac80211 features.

  For example AP mode, P2P mode, number of interface combinations, TDLS
  support, number of Scan SSIDs, supported ciphers and so on.

  Priority: Low
  Complexity: C2
