Hello,
Is it possible to add the mac802154_hwsim module to CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core), so that its part of the OS?
Thanks Dan

If that module is not part of red hat Enterprise 7 then it will never be part of CentOS.
I googled the module name, it appears to be something new from kernel 5.x ? Backporting that to 3.10 is likely a massive job.

According to this webpage: https://mininet-wifi.github.io/sixlowpan/
"6LoWPAN is supported by Mininet-WiFi thanks to the fakelb and mac802154_hwsim module. Both modules have been developed to support 6lowpan, but mac802154_hwsim (which is supported from Linux Kernel version 4.18) is gradually replacing fakelb."
Since Centos 8 is on Kernel 4.18, maybe it's already native there.
Doesn't help the chap with Centos 7 though.
Hello John & Frank,
We have tried both Centos8 and installing kernel-ml-5.8.6-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm but both options are too "bleeding" edge for our other middleware that still require the Centos 7 3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.x86_64. Hence the request.
Thanks

I have tried backporting the module to el7 for you as requested at elrepo, but it is not trivial and so far I've not been able to get the code to compile cleanly. I'll see if I can have another look at it this weekend, but I'm not overly hopeful given the age of the el7 kernel.
As others have said, it's never going to appear in the CentOS kernel as it's not present in upstream in RHEL7.

Phil
Hi Phil, ok that's great thanks. I have a colleague working through vroc/fake raid issues we're having when using kernel-ml-5.8.6-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm by switching to linux soft raid. Also we dont have a supported docker-ce for el8 yet.

Hi Phil,
Not sure if you've had time to look at this? As mentioned middleware, like docker-ce, is preventing us from moving to el8.
Thanks Dan

Hi Dan,
I've succeeded in backporting mac802154_hwsim for you as a standalone kmod package for el7. I've updated your request here:

Thanks for your efforts Phil. Great job.
Hi Phil,
I can confirm our initial testing shows its all working!
Thanks, feels like such an understatement of gratitude! :D
