    Hi All,

    I came across the below mentioned link

    http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS7183338246.html

    I understood that these are software's (Build/Firmware/ OS ) for an AP and we need to have an empty AP(hardware) for this purpose.Please correct me if I am wrong?

    It would be great if anyone of you could let me know whether we can simulate an AP and client devices without any hardware using Open source Linux.If so how?

    Thanks!!!

    Hi Prithvi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Knoppix is a Linux software. I think its like any other flavor of Linux like Red hat or Debian .Please correct me if I am wrong. Have you used this software before and simulated Access points?

    I was looking for something like this in the link pasted below.

    I wanted to know was it possible to simulate a complete Wi-Fi solution without hardware. I know the answer is No.Please let me know if I am wrong.

    Thanks a lot !!!
