| Summary | 0001540: enable CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM | ||||
| Description | This bug report covers kernel-ml/lt for el8, el9 and el10. It is enabled in the distro kernel. el9: /boot/config-5.14.0-570.24.1.el9_6.x86_64:CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM=m /boot/config-6.1.141-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64:# CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM is not set /boot/config-6.15.2-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64:# CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM is not set el10: /boot/config-6.12.0-55.19.1.el10_0.x86_64:CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM=m /boot/config-6.15.3-1.el10.elrepo.x86_64:# CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM is not set | ||||
| Additional Information | Note that 'mac80211_hwsim.ko.xz' is in the kernel-modules-internal package (not publicly available in RHEL) as of RHEL 9.4. The wwan_hwsim kernel module provides a framework for simulating and testing various networking scenarios that use wireless wide area network (WWAN) devices. Previously, wwan_hwsim was a part of the kernel-modules-extra package. However, with this release, it is moved to the kernel-modules-internal package, which contains other similarly-oriented utilities. Note that the WWAN feature for PCI modem is still a Technology Preview. | ||||
