A 5GHz, 802.11n compatible wireless interface that can enter AP mode is required to run drc-sim.

The system should have the proper drivers installed before attempting to run or install drc-sim.

Compatible USB Devices

• Panda N600 - Confirmed Working
• Linksys AE1000 - Confirmed Working

Compatible Wifi Chips

• Intel AX200/AX201 WiFi 6 m.2
• Broadcom BCM 4321 mPCIe - Confirmed Working
• Atheros AR5B22 (AR9462) mPCIe

Untested

• List of rt2800 devices - These might work.

Incompatible Devices

• Any Realtek (drivers) devices - See this issue.
• TP-Link TL-WDN3200 - Previously Working See issue #21

Determining Compatibility

iw list

The command above should list information about all connected wireless devices. Compatible devices will need to support 5.x GHz (5xxx MHz) and have AP listed as a supported interface mode.
