Wow, that's pretty crazy. I didn't know Wi-Fi Direct was already supported on (non-Android) Linux.

It doesn't seem to establish a connection properly with my Intel 8265 card out of the box though. I'll have to play around with it a bit more.

You might be running into this: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/hostap/patch/2020082506... if your distro doesn't ship this patch to wpa_supplicant (AFAIK Fedora does ship it).

Thanks, I'll double check the kernel sources in my distro (I'm using Fedora 33).

wow, thank's for the link! Should be installed by default, it's such a convenient thing and narrows the usability gap of a Linux desktop compared to Windows/MacOS
