Set up a Wi-Fi Direct connection on Linux
So I tried to connect two devices using Wifi-Direct.
One was a PC with Linux, and the other was an Android smartphone.
I wanted Linux as a GO and Android as a client.
In order to set up Wifi-Direct connection, I made a Python script to start wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli with p2p options.
And this is what worked for me in Linux.
It provides 3 functions:
- setup_conf_files()
- start_as_go_fedora()
- start_as_go_ubuntu()
which are to enable P2P device connectivity and become an autonomous GO, as the name suggests.
