If you have two PC, use 'p2p_find' and 'p2p_connect' commands to make a p2p connection. > Because I don't > know how to use wpa's utility properly and while I try to share my screen or > see another one, I get no dice there. WiFi Display, which is a protocol over WiFi P2P, is used to share screen. IIRC it uses RTSP protocol to handshake RTP for streaming. Without a utility (I don't remember that though), it is not possible to setup a streaming session. > Maybe this is due to an incompatibility > with my Samsung mobile or that for proper P2P support more functionalities > need to be added to rtl8xxxu, I can say that as of now. I think what we can do in a PC is to setup a P2P connection (with an android phone is possible), and test ping or transfer a file via FTP and so on.
