One Line Summary

Learn about Wi-Fi Direct and support on Linux

Abstract

Wi-Fi Direct is an upcoming Wi-Fi Alliance standard for ad-hoc wireless networking using IEEE 802.11 devices. It seeks to revolutionize the way we use our wireless devices by making it easy to discover and communicate with devices based on services they offer.

After touching on the basics of Wi-Fi Direct and its use cases, this presentation will explore how the new features are (being) implemented in Linux and how applications can take advantage of the new feature that are being added.
