Introduction

Wi-Fi Simple Config (WSC) is a new method for setting up residential Wi-Fi (802.11) networks with equal emphasis on security and ease-of-use. The method is being standardized in Wi-Fi Alliance (www.wi-fi.org*). Intel Corporation is providing a Linux reference implementation, to facilitate industry development for this emerging standard. Please note this code is not tested or intended as product level code, and is provided AS IS, without Intel technical support.

Information about hardware and software requirements, supported features and scenarios, build/install/run instructions and known issues can be found in the README file.

This Reference Implementation consists of two packages under different licenses.
