IW module
=========

Experimental wireless module — nl80211 support.

Disclaimer
----------

Unlike IPRoute, which is mostly usable, though is far from
complete yet, the IW module is in the very initial state.
Neither the module itself, nor the message class cover the
nl80211 functionality reasonably enough. So if you're
going to use it, brace yourself — debug is coming.

Messages
--------

nl80211 messages are defined here::

pyroute2/netlink/nl80211/__init__.py

Pls notice NLAs of type `hex`. On the early development stage
`hex` allows to inspect incoming data as a hex dump and,
occasionally, even make requests with such NLAs. But it's
not a production way.

The type `hex` in the NLA definitions means that this
particular NLA is not handled yet properly. If you want to
use some NLA which is defined as `hex` yet, pls find out a
specific type, patch the message class and submit your pull
request on github.

If you're not familiar with NLA types, take a look at RTNL
definitions::

pyroute2/netlink/rtnl/ndmsg.py

and so on.

Communication with the kernel
-----------------------------

There are several methods of the communication with the kernel.

* `sendto()` — lowest possible, send a raw binary data
    * `put()` — send a netlink message
    * `nlm_request()` — send a message, return the response
    * `get()` — get a netlink message
    * `recv()` — get a raw binary data from the kernel

There are no errors on `put()` usually. Any `permission denied`,
any `invalid value` errors are returned from the kernel with
netlink also. So if you do `put()`, but don't do `get()`, be
prepared to miss errors.

The preferred method for the communication is `nlm_request()`.
It tracks the message ID, returns the corresponding response.
In the case of errors `nlm_request()` raises an exception.
To get the response on any operation with nl80211, use flag
`NLM_F_ACK`.

Reverse it
----------

If you're too lazy to read the kernel sources, but still need
something not implemented here, you can use reverse engineering
on a reference implementation. E.g.::

# strace -e trace=network -f -x -s 4096 \\
            iw phy phy0 interface add test type monitor

Will dump all the netlink traffic between the program `iw` and
the kernel. Three first packets are the generic netlink protocol
discovery, you can ignore them. All that follows, is the
nl80211 traffic::

sendmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, ... },
        msg_iov(1)=[{"\\x30\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x1b\\x00\\x05 ...", 48}],
        msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 48
    recvmsg(3, {msg_name(12)={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, ... },
        msg_iov(1)=[{"\\x58\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x1b\\x00\\x00 ...", 16384}],
        msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 88
    ...

With `-s 4096` you will get the full dump. Then copy the strings
from `msg_iov` to a file, let's say `data`, and run the decoder::

$ pwd
    /home/user/Projects/pyroute2
    $ export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`
    $ python scripts/decoder.py pyroute2.netlink.nl80211.nl80211cmd data

You will get the session decoded::

{'attrs': [['NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY', 0],
               ['NL80211_ATTR_IFNAME', 'test'],
               ['NL80211_ATTR_IFTYPE', 6]],

                'type': 27},
     'reserved': 0,
     'version': 0}
    {'attrs': [['NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX', 23811],
               ['NL80211_ATTR_IFNAME', 'test'],
               ['NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY', 0],
               ['NL80211_ATTR_IFTYPE', 6],
               ['NL80211_ATTR_WDEV', 4],
               ['NL80211_ATTR_MAC', 'a4:4e:31:43:1c:7c'],
               ['NL80211_ATTR_GENERATION', '02:00:00:00']],
     'cmd': 7,
     'header': {'flags': 0,
                'length': 88,

                'type': 27},
     'reserved': 0,
     'version': 1}

Now you know, how to do a request and what you will get as a
response. Sample collected data is in the `scripts` directory.

Submit changes
--------------

Please do not hesitate to submit the changes on github. Without
your patches this module will not evolve.
