James Prestwood 87345b4c14 doc: update hwsim documentation
This was quite dated and needed to be updated both to
reflect the API change to a dictionary argument, as well
as document NoVirtualInterface.

RadioManager hierarchy
======================
Service net.connman.hwsim
Interface net.connman.hwsim.RadioManager [Experimental]
Object path /
Methods object CreateRadio(dict)
Add one virtual radio device to the simulator, a
path to a new object with the
net.connman.hwsim.Radio interface is returned.
This API takes a dictionary of arguments (all optional)
with keys:
string Name - Name of radio
bool P2P - Create a P2P device
string InterfaceTypeDisable - List of disabled
interface types (comma
separated)
string CipherTypeDisable - List of disabled
cipher types (comma
separated)
string NoVirtualInterface - Don't create an
interface for this
radio.
The radio is created with one network interface (unless
NoVirtualInterface is used) of the type "managed"
(Station) and optionally one P2P Device interface.
The name parameter may be an empty string or a requested
name for the radio and its wiphy. If empty, the kernel
will use a default name. If non-empty, the kernel may
still use the default name if the requested name can not
be used.
Service net.connman.hwsim
Interface net.connman.hwsim.Radio [Experimental]
Object path /{radio0,radio1,...}
Methods void Remove()
Remove this radio from the simulator. Associated
interfaces will disappear from the system too, as
if the device was unplugged.
Properties string Name [readonly]
The radio's and the associated wiphy's name.
array(string) Addresses [readonly]
The two hardware addresses assigned to the simulated
wiphy by the kernel in the XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format.
Actual network interfaces under the wiphy may use
different addresses and those addresses will be seen
in all 802.11 and ethernet traffic.
uint32 Channels [readonly]
The number of channels supported by this radio.
struct(byte, byte) Alpha2 [readonly, optional]
The Alpha2 country code used as the regulatory
hint during radio creation. May differ from the
actual reulatory domain used.
boolean P2PDevice [readonly]
Whether a P2P Device interface creation was requested
during radio creation command. Independent of the
current number and types of interfaces.
uint32 RegulatoryDomainIndex [readonly, optional]
Index into the custom regulatory domains table
kept by the simulator. Only present if one of
these custom domains is in use.
Service net.connman.hwsim
Interface net.connman.hwsim.Interface [Experimental]
Object path /{radio0,radio1,...}/{1,2,...}
Methods void SendFrame(string addr, uint32 freq, int32 signal,
array(byte) frame)
Send an arbitrary frame out to a station. 'addr' is the
station address. 'freq' and 'signal' are the frequency
and signal strength.
Properties string Name [readonly]
The interface name.
string Address [readonly]
The ethernet address of the interface in the
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format.
