- wpa_supplicant and Wi-Fi P2P
- ============================
- This document describes how the Wi-Fi P2P implementation in
- wpa_supplicant can be configured and how an external component on the
- client (e.g., management GUI) is used to enable WPS enrollment and
- registrar registration.
- Introduction to Wi-Fi P2P
- -------------------------
- TODO
- More information about Wi-Fi P2P is available from Wi-Fi Alliance:
- http://www.wi-fi.org/Wi-Fi_Direct.php
- wpa_supplicant implementation
- -----------------------------
- TODO
- wpa_supplicant configuration
- ----------------------------
- Wi-Fi P2P is an optional component that needs to be enabled in the
- wpa_supplicant build configuration (.config). Here is an example
- configuration that includes Wi-Fi P2P support and Linux nl80211
- -based driver interface:
- CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y
- CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y
- CONFIG_P2P=y
- CONFIG_AP=y
- CONFIG_WPS=y
- In run-time configuration file (wpa_supplicant.conf), some parameters
- for P2P may be set. In order to make the devices easier to recognize,
- device_name and device_type should be specified. For example,
- something like this should be included:
- ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
- device_name=My P2P Device
- device_type=1-0050F204-1
- wpa_cli
- -------
- Actual Wi-Fi P2P operations are requested during runtime. These can be
- done for example using wpa_cli (which is described below) or a GUI
- like wpa_gui-qt4.
- wpa_cli starts in interactive mode if no command string is included on
- the command line. By default, it will select the first network interface
- that it can find (and that wpa_supplicant controls). If more than one
- interface is in use, it may be necessary to select one of the explicitly
- by adding -i argument on the command line (e.g., 'wpa_cli -i wlan1').
- Most of the P2P operations are done on the main interface (e.g., the
- interface that is automatically added when the driver is loaded, e.g.,
- wlan0). When using a separate virtual interface for group operations
- (e.g., wlan1), the control interface for that group interface may need
- to be used for some operations (mainly WPS activation in GO). This may
- change in the future so that all the needed operations could be done
- over the main control interface.
- Device Discovery
- p2p_find [timeout in seconds] [type=<social|progressive>] \
- [dev_id=<addr>] [dev_type=<device type>] \
- [delay=<search delay in ms>] [seek=<service name>] [freq=<MHz>]
- The default behavior is to run a single full scan in the beginning and
- then scan only social channels. type=social will scan only social
- channels, i.e., it skips the initial full scan. type=progressive is
- like the default behavior, but it will scan through all the channels
- progressively one channel at the time in the Search state rounds. This
- will help in finding new groups or groups missed during the initial
- full scan. When the type parameter is not included (i.e., full scan), the
- optional freq parameter can be used to override the first scan to use only
- the specified channel after which only social channels are scanned.
- The optional dev_id option can be used to specify a single P2P peer to
- search for. The optional delay parameter can be used to request an extra
- delay to be used between search iterations (e.g., to free up radio
- resources for concurrent operations).
- The optional dev_type option can be used to specify a single device type
- (primary or secondary) to search for, e.g.,
- "p2p_find dev_type=1-0050F204-1".
- With one or more seek arguments, the command sends Probe Request frames
- for a P2PS service. For example,
- p2p_find 5 dev_id=11:22:33:44:55:66 seek=alt.example.chat seek=alt.example.video
- Parameters description:
- Timeout - Optional ASCII base-10-encoded u16. If missing, request will not
- time out and must be canceled manually
- dev_id - Optional to request responses from a single known remote device
- Service Name - Mandatory UTF-8 string for ASP seeks
- Service name must match the remote service being advertised exactly
- (no prefix matching).
- Service name may be empty, in which case all ASP services will be
- returned, and may be filtered with p2p_serv_disc_req settings, and
- p2p_serv_asp_resp results.
- Multiple service names may be requested, but if it exceeds internal
- limit, it will automatically revert to requesting all ASP services.
- p2p_listen [timeout in seconds]
- Start Listen-only state (become discoverable without searching for
- other devices). Optional parameter can be used to specify the duration
- for the Listen operation in seconds. This command may not be of that
- much use during normal operations and is mainly designed for
- testing. It can also be used to keep the device discoverable without
- having to maintain a group.
- p2p_stop_find
- Stop ongoing P2P device discovery or other operation (connect, listen
- mode).
- p2p_flush
- Flush P2P peer table and state.
- Group Formation
- p2p_prov_disc <peer device address> <display|keypad|pbc> [join|auto]
- Send P2P provision discovery request to the specified peer. The
- parameters for this command are the P2P device address of the peer and
- the desired configuration method. For example, "p2p_prov_disc
- 02:01:02:03:04:05 display" would request the peer to display a PIN for
- us and "p2p_prov_disc 02:01:02:03:04:05 keypad" would request the peer
- to enter a PIN that we display.
- The optional "join" parameter can be used to indicate that this command
- is requesting an already running GO to prepare for a new client. This is
- mainly used with "display" to request it to display a PIN. The "auto"
- parameter can be used to request wpa_supplicant to automatically figure
- out whether the peer device is operating as a GO and if so, use
- join-a-group style PD instead of GO Negotiation style PD.
- p2p_connect <peer device address> <pbc|pin|PIN#|p2ps> [display|keypad|p2ps]
- [persistent|persistent=<network id>] [join|auth]
- [go_intent=<0..15>] [freq=<in MHz>] [ht40] [vht] [provdisc] [auto]
- [ssid=<hexdump>]
- Start P2P group formation with a discovered P2P peer. This includes
- optional group owner negotiation, group interface setup, provisioning,
- and establishing data connection.
- The <pbc|pin|PIN#> parameter specifies the WPS provisioning
- method. "pbc" string starts pushbutton method, "pin" string start PIN
- method using an automatically generated PIN (which will be returned as
- the command return code), PIN# means that a pre-selected PIN can be
- used (e.g., 12345670). [display|keypad] is used with PIN method
- to specify which PIN is used (display=dynamically generated random PIN
- from local display, keypad=PIN entered from peer display). "persistent"
- parameter can be used to request a persistent group to be formed. The
- "persistent=<network id>" alternative can be used to pre-populate
- SSID/passphrase configuration based on a previously used persistent
- group where this device was the GO. The previously used parameters will
- then be used if the local end becomes the GO in GO Negotiation (which
- can be forced with go_intent=15).
- "join" indicates that this is a command to join an existing group as a
- client. It skips the GO Negotiation part. This will send a Provision
- Discovery Request message to the target GO before associating for WPS
- provisioning.
- "auth" indicates that the WPS parameters are authorized for the peer
- device without actually starting GO Negotiation (i.e., the peer is
- expected to initiate GO Negotiation). This is mainly for testing
- purposes.
- "go_intent" can be used to override the default GO Intent for this GO
- Negotiation.
- "freq" can be used to set a forced operating channel (e.g., freq=2412
- to select 2.4 GHz channel 1).
- "provdisc" can be used to request a Provision Discovery exchange to be
- used prior to starting GO Negotiation as a workaround with some deployed
- P2P implementations that require this to allow the user to accept the
- connection.
- "auto" can be used to request wpa_supplicant to automatically figure
- out whether the peer device is operating as a GO and if so, use
- join-a-group operation rather than GO Negotiation.
- "ssid=<hexdump>" can be used to specify the Group SSID for join
- operations. This allows the P2P Client interface to filter scan results
- based on SSID to avoid selecting an incorrect BSS entry in case the same
- P2P Device or Interface address have been used in multiple groups
- recently.
- P2PS attribute changes to p2p_connect command:
- P2PS supports two WPS provisioning methods namely PIN method and P2PS default.
- The remaining parameters hold same role as in legacy P2P. In case of P2PS
- default config method "p2ps" keyword is added in p2p_connect command.
- For example:
- p2p_connect 02:0a:f5:85:11:00 12345670 p2ps persistent join
- (WPS Method = P2PS default)
- p2p_connect 02:0a:f5:85:11:00 45629034 keypad persistent
- (WPS Method = PIN)
- p2p_asp_provision <peer MAC address> <adv_id=peer adv id>
- <adv_mac=peer MAC address> [role=2|4|1] <session=session id>
- <session_mac=initiator mac address>
- [info='service info'] <method=Default|keypad|Display>
- This command starts provision discovery with the P2PS enabled peer device.
- For example,
- p2p_asp_provision 00:11:22:33:44:55 adv_id=4d6fc7 adv_mac=00:55:44:33:22:11 role=1 session=12ab34 session_mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 info='name=john' method=1000
- Parameter description:
- MAC address - Mandatory
- adv_id - Mandatory remote Advertising ID of service connection is being
- established for
- adv_mac - Mandatory MAC address that owns/registered the service
- role - Optional
- 2 (group client only) or 4 (group owner only)
- if not present (or 1) role is negotiated by the two peers.
- session - Mandatory Session ID of the first session to be established
- session_mac - Mandatory MAC address that owns/initiated the session
- method - Optional method to request for provisioning (1000 - P2PS Default,
- 100 - Keypad(PIN), 8 - Display(PIN))
- info - Optional UTF-8 string. Hint for service to indicate possible usage
- parameters - Escape single quote & backslash:
- with a backslash 0x27 == ' == \', and 0x5c == \ == \\
- p2p_asp_provision_resp <peer mac address> <adv_id= local adv id>
- <adv_mac=local MAC address> <role=1|2|4> <status=0>
- <session=session id> <session_mac=peer MAC address>
- This command sends a provision discovery response from responder side.
- For example,
- p2p_asp_provision_resp 00:55:44:33:22:11 adv_id=4d6fc7 adv_mac=00:55:44:33:22:11 role=1 status=0 session=12ab34 session_mac=00:11:22:33:44:55
- Parameters definition:
- MAC address - Mandatory
- adv_id - Mandatory local Advertising ID of service connection is being
- established for
- adv_mac - Mandatory MAC address that owns/registered the service
- role - Optional 2 (group client only) or 4 (group owner only)
- if not present (or 1) role is negotiated by the two peers.
- status - Mandatory Acceptance/Rejection code of Provisioning
- session - Mandatory Session ID of the first session to be established
- session_mac - Mandatory MAC address that owns/initiated the session
- p2p_group_add [persistent|persistent=<network id>] [freq=<freq in MHz>]
- [ht40] [vht]
- Set up a P2P group owner manually (i.e., without group owner
- negotiation with a specific peer). This is also known as autonomous
- GO. Optional persistent=<network id> can be used to specify restart of
- a persistent group. Optional freq=<freq in MHz> can be used to force
- the GO to be started on a specific frequency. Special freq=2 or freq=5
- options can be used to request the best 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band channel
- to be selected automatically.
- p2p_reject <peer device address>
- Reject connection attempt from a peer (specified with a device
- address). This is a mechanism to reject a pending GO Negotiation with
- a peer and request to automatically block any further connection or
- discovery of the peer.
- p2p_group_remove <group interface>
- Terminate a P2P group. If a new virtual network interface was used for
- the group, it will also be removed. The network interface name of the
- group interface is used as a parameter for this command.
- p2p_cancel
- Cancel an ongoing P2P group formation and joining-a-group related
- operation. This operation unauthorizes the specific peer device (if any
- had been authorized to start group formation), stops P2P find (if in
- progress), stops pending operations for join-a-group, and removes the
- P2P group interface (if one was used) that is in the WPS provisioning
- step. If the WPS provisioning step has been completed, the group is not
- terminated.
- p2p_remove_client <peer's P2P Device Address|iface=<interface address>>
- This command can be used to remove the specified client from all groups
- (operating and persistent) from the local GO. Note that the peer device
- can rejoin the group if it is in possession of a valid key. See p2p_set
- per_sta_psk command below for more details on how the peer can be
- removed securely.
- Service Discovery
- p2p_service_add asp <auto accept> <adv id> <status 0/1> <Config Methods>
- <Service name> [Service Information] [Response Info]
- This command can be used to search for a P2PS service which includes
- Play, Send, Display, and Print service. The parameters for this command
- are "asp" to identify the command as P2PS one, auto accept value,
- advertisement id which uniquely identifies the service requests, state
- of the service whether the service is available or not, config methods
- which can be either P2PS method or PIN method, service name followed by
- two optional parameters service information, and response info.
- For example,
- p2p_service_add asp 1 4d6fc7 0 1108 alt.example.chat svc_info='name=john' rsp_info='enter PIN 1234'
- Parameters definition:
- asp - Mandatory for ASP service registration
- auto accept - Mandatory ASCII hex-encoded boolean (0 == no auto-accept,
- 1 == auto-accept ANY role, 2 == auto-accept CLIENT role,
- 4 == auto-accept GO role)
- Advertisement ID - Mandatory non-zero ASCII hex-encoded u32
- (Must be unique/not yet exist in svc db)
- State - Mandatory ASCII hex-encoded u8 (0 -- Svc not available,
- 1 -- Svc available, 2-0xff Application defined)
- Config Methods - Mandatory ASCII hex-encoded u16 (bitmask of WSC config
- methods)
- Service Name - Mandatory UTF-8 string
- Service Information - Optional UTF-8 string
- Escape single quote & backslash with a backslash:
- 0x27 == ' == \', and 0x5c == \ == \\
- Session response information - Optional (used only if auto accept is TRUE)
- UTF-8 string
- Escape single quote & backslash with a backslash:
- 0x27 == ' == \', and 0x5c == \ == \\
- p2p_service_rep asp <auto accept> <adv id> <status 0/1> <Config Methods>
- <Service name> [Service Information] [Response Info]
- This command can be used to replace the existing service request
- attributes from the initiator side. The replacement is only allowed if
- the advertisement id issued in the command matches with any one entry in
- the list of existing SD queries. If advertisement id doesn't match the
- command returns a failure.
- For example,
- p2p_service_rep asp 1 4d6fc7 1 1108 alt.example.chat svc_info='name=john' rsp_info='enter PIN 1234'
- Parameters definition:
- asp - Mandatory for ASP service registration
- auto accept - Mandatory ASCII hex-encoded boolean (1 == true, 0 == false)
- Advertisement ID - Mandatory non-zero ASCII hex-encoded u32
- (Must already exist in svc db)
- State - Mandatory ASCII hex-encoded u8 (can be used to indicate svc
- available or not available for instance)
- Config Methods - Mandatory ASCII hex-encoded u16 (bitmask of WSC config
- methods)
- Service Name - Mandatory UTF-8 string (Must match existing string in svc db)
- Service Information - Optional UTF-8 string
- Escape single quote & backslash with a backslash:
- 0x27 == ' == \', and 0x5c == \ == \\
- Session response information - Optional (used only if auto accept is TRUE)
- UTF-8 string
- Escape single quote & backslash with a backslash:
- 0x27 == ' == \', and 0x5c == \ == \\
- p2p_serv_disc_req
- Schedule a P2P service discovery request. The parameters for this
- command are the device address of the peer device (or 00:00:00:00:00:00
- for wildcard query that is sent to every discovered P2P peer that
- supports service discovery) and P2P Service Query TLV(s) as hexdump. For
- example,
- p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 02000001
- schedules a request for listing all available services of all service
- discovery protocols and requests this to be sent to all discovered
- peers (note: this can result in long response frames). The pending
- requests are sent during device discovery (see p2p_find).
- There can be multiple pending peer device specific queries (each will be
- sent in sequence whenever the peer is found).
- This command returns an identifier for the pending query (e.g.,
- "1f77628") that can be used to cancel the request. Directed requests
- will be automatically removed when the specified peer has replied to
- it.
- Service Query TLV has following format:
- Length (2 octets, little endian) - length of following data
- Service Protocol Type (1 octet) - see the table below
- Service Transaction ID (1 octet) - nonzero identifier for the TLV
- Query Data (Length - 2 octets of data) - service protocol specific data
- Service Protocol Types:
- 0 = All service protocols
- 1 = Bonjour
- 2 = UPnP
- 3 = WS-Discovery
- 4 = Wi-Fi Display
- For UPnP, an alternative command format can be used to specify a
- single query TLV (i.e., a service discovery for a specific UPnP
- service):
- p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 upnp <version hex> <ST: from M-SEARCH>
- For example:
- p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 upnp 10 urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:InternetGatewayDevice:1
- Additional examples for queries:
- # list of all Bonjour services
- p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 02000101
- # list of all UPnP services
- p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 02000201
- # list of all WS-Discovery services
- p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 02000301
- # list of all Bonjour and UPnP services
- p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 0200010102000202

- p2p_serv_disc_req <Unicast|Broadcast mac address> asp <Transaction ID>
- <Service Name> [Service Information]
- The command can be used for service discovery for P2PS enabled devices.
- For example: p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 asp a1 alt.example 'john'
- Parameters definition:
- MAC address - Mandatory Existing
- asp - Mandatory for ASP queries
- Transaction ID - Mandatory non-zero ASCII hex-encoded u8 for GAS
- Service Name Prefix - Mandatory UTF-8 string.
- Will match from beginning of remote Service Name
- Service Information Substring - Optional UTF-8 string
- If Service Information Substring is not included, all services matching
- Service Name Prefix will be returned.
- If Service Information Substring is included, both the Substring and the
- Service Name Prefix must match for service to be returned.
- If remote service has no Service Information, all Substring searches
- will fail.
- p2p_serv_disc_cancel_req <query identifier>
- Cancel a pending P2P service discovery request. This command takes a
- single parameter: identifier for the pending query (the value returned
- by p2p_serv_disc_req, e.g., "p2p_serv_disc_cancel_req 1f77628".
- p2p_serv_disc_resp
- Reply to a service discovery query. This command takes following
- parameters: frequency in MHz, destination address, dialog token,
- response TLV(s). The first three parameters are copied from the
- request event. For example, "p2p_serv_disc_resp 2437 02:40:61:c2:f3:b7
- 1 0300000101". This command is used only if external program is used
- to process the request (see p2p_serv_disc_external).
- p2p_service_update
- Indicate that local services have changed. This is used to increment
- the P2P service indicator value so that peers know when previously
- cached information may have changed. This is only needed when external
- service discovery processing is enabled since the commands to
- pre-configure services for internal processing will increment the
- indicator automatically.
- p2p_serv_disc_external <0|1>
- Configure external processing of P2P service requests: 0 (default) =
- no external processing of requests (i.e., internal code will process
- each request based on pre-configured services), 1 = external
- processing of requests (external program is responsible for replying
- to service discovery requests with p2p_serv_disc_resp). Please note
- that there is quite strict limit on how quickly the response needs to
- be transmitted, so use of the internal processing is strongly
- recommended.
- p2p_service_add bonjour <query hexdump> <RDATA hexdump>
- Add a local Bonjour service for internal SD query processing.

- Invitation
- p2p_invite [persistent=<network id>|group=<group ifname>] [peer=address]
- [go_dev_addr=address] [freq=<freq in MHz>] [ht40] [vht]
- [pref=<MHz>]
- Invite a peer to join a group (e.g., group=wlan1) or to reinvoke a
- persistent group (e.g., persistent=4). If the peer device is the GO of
- the persistent group, the peer parameter is not needed. Otherwise it is
- used to specify which device to invite. go_dev_addr parameter can be
- used to override the GO device address for Invitation Request should
- it be not known for some reason (this should not be needed in most
- cases). When reinvoking a persistent group, the GO device can specify
- the frequency for the group with the freq parameter. When reinvoking a
- persistent group, the P2P client device can use freq parameter to force
- a specific operating channel (or invitation failure if GO rejects that)
- or pref parameter to request a specific channel (while allowing GO to
- select to use another channel, if needed).
- Group Operations
- (These are used on the group interface.)
- wps_pin <any|address> <PIN>
- Start WPS PIN method. This allows a single WPS Enrollee to connect to
- the AP/GO. This is used on the GO when a P2P client joins an existing
- group. The second parameter is the address of the Enrollee or a string
- "any" to allow any station to use the entered PIN (which will restrict
- the PIN for one-time-use). PIN is the Enrollee PIN read either from a
- label or display on the P2P Client/WPS Enrollee.
- wps_pbc
- Start WPS PBC method (i.e., push the button). This allows a single WPS
- Enrollee to connect to the AP/GO. This is used on the GO when a P2P
- client joins an existing group.
- p2p_get_passphrase
- Get the passphrase for a group (only available when acting as a GO).
- p2p_presence_req [<duration> <interval>] [<duration> <interval>]
- Send a P2P Presence Request to the GO (this is only available when
- acting as a P2P client). If no duration/interval pairs are given, the
- request indicates that this client has no special needs for GO
- presence. The first parameter pair gives the preferred duration and
- interval values in microseconds. If the second pair is included, that
- indicates which value would be acceptable. This command returns OK
- immediately and the response from the GO is indicated in a
- P2P-PRESENCE-RESPONSE event message.
- Parameters
- p2p_ext_listen [<period> <interval>]
- Configure Extended Listen Timing. If the parameters are omitted, this
- feature is disabled. If the parameters are included, Listen State will
- be entered every interval msec for at least period msec. Both values
- have acceptable range of 1-65535 (with interval obviously having to be
- larger than or equal to duration). If the P2P module is not idle at
- the time the Extended Listen Timing timeout occurs, the Listen State
- operation will be skipped.
- The configured values will also be advertised to other P2P Devices. The
- received values are available in the p2p_peer command output:
- ext_listen_period=100 ext_listen_interval=5000
- p2p_set <field> <value>
- Change dynamic P2P parameters
- p2p_set discoverability <0/1>
- Disable/enable advertisement of client discoverability. This is
- enabled by default and this parameter is mainly used to allow testing
- of device discoverability.
- p2p_set managed <0/1>
- Disable/enable managed P2P Device operations. This is disabled by
- default.
- p2p_set listen_channel <channel> [<op_class>]
- Set P2P Listen channel. This is mainly meant for testing purposes and
- changing the Listen channel during normal operations can result in
- protocol failures.
- When specifying a social channel on the 2.4 GHz band (1/6/11) there is
- no need to specify the operating class since it defaults to 81. When
- specifying a social channel on the 60 GHz band (2), specify the 60 GHz
- operating class (180).
- p2p_set ssid_postfix <postfix>
- Set postfix string to be added to the automatically generated P2P SSID
- (DIRECT-<two random characters>). For example, postfix of "-testing"
- could result in the SSID becoming DIRECT-ab-testing.
- p2p_set per_sta_psk <0/1>
- Disabled(default)/enables use of per-client PSK in the P2P groups. This
- can be used to request GO to assign a unique PSK for each client during
- WPS provisioning. When enabled, this allow clients to be removed from
- the group securely with p2p_remove_client command since that client's
- PSK is removed at the same time to prevent it from connecting back using
- the old PSK. When per-client PSK is not used, the client can still be
- disconnected, but it will be able to re-join the group since the PSK it
- learned previously is still valid. It should be noted that the default
- passphrase on the GO that is normally used to allow legacy stations to
- connect through manual configuration does not change here, so if that is
- shared, devices with knowledge of that passphrase can still connect.
- set <field> <value>
- Set global configuration parameters which may also affect P2P
- operations. The format on these parameters is same as is used in
- wpa_supplicant.conf. Only the parameters listen here should be
- changed. Modifying other parameters may result in incorrect behavior
- since not all existing users of the parameters are updated.
- set uuid <UUID>
- Set WPS UUID (by default, this is generated based on the MAC address).
- set device_name <device name>
- Set WPS Device Name (also included in some P2P messages).
- set manufacturer <manufacturer>
- Set WPS Manufacturer.
- set model_name <model name>
- Set WPS Model Name.
- set model_number <model number>
- Set WPS Model Number.
- set serial_number <serial number>
- Set WPS Serial Number.
- set device_type <device type>
- Set WPS Device Type.
- set os_version <OS version>
- Set WPS OS Version.
- set config_methods <config methods>
- Set WPS Configuration Methods.
- set sec_device_type <device type>
- Add a new Secondary Device Type.
- set p2p_go_intent <GO intent>
- Set the default P2P GO Intent. Note: This value can be overridden in
- p2p_connect command and as such, there should be no need to change the
- default value here during normal operations.
- set p2p_ssid_postfix <P2P SSID postfix>
- Set P2P SSID postfix.
- set persistent_reconnect <0/1>
- Disable/enabled persistent reconnect for reinvocation of persistent
- groups. If enabled, invitations to reinvoke a persistent group will be
- accepted without separate authorization (e.g., user interaction).
- set country <two character country code>
- Set country code (this is included in some P2P messages).
- set p2p_search_delay <delay>
- Set p2p_search_delay which adds extra delay in milliseconds between
- concurrent search iterations to make p2p_find friendlier to concurrent
- operations by avoiding it from taking 100% of radio resources. The
- default value is 500 ms.
- Status
- p2p_peers [discovered]
- List P2P Device Addresses of all the P2P peers we know. The optional
- "discovered" parameter filters out the peers that we have not fully
- discovered, i.e., which we have only seen in a received Probe Request
- frame.
- p2p_peer <P2P Device Address>
- Fetch information about a known P2P peer.
- Group Status
- (These are used on the group interface.)
- status
- Show status information (connection state, role, use encryption
- parameters, IP address, etc.).
- sta
- Show information about an associated station (when acting in AP/GO role).
- all_sta
- Lists the currently associated stations.
- Configuration data
- list_networks
- Lists the configured networks, including stored information for
- persistent groups. The identifier in this list is used with
- p2p_group_add and p2p_invite to indicate which persistent group is to
- be reinvoked.
- remove_network <network id>
- Remove a network entry from configuration.
