Both Net::Lorcon2 and the lorcon library it relies on look very much like abandonware, but on Ubuntu-20.04 I've now built and installed the lorcon library from github and I've also built and installed the Net-Lorcon2-2.03 module from CPAN.

The lorcon library issued a couple of compilation warnings, and neither make check nor make test don't run any tests.
This does not inspire confidence.

However, the Net-Lorcon2-2.03 module from CPAN built cleanly and passed tests, after I had installed a few netlink libraries using the package manager and re-built the lorcon library (which still issued compilation warnings).
NOTE: In addition to the CPAN version of Net-Lorcon2-2.03, there's also a modified version by Bpl.
But I'd like to deal with the CPAN version before I get to Bpl's.

Here is the make test results for Net-Lorcon2-2.03 (from CPAN), perl-5.32.0:

$ make test
"/home/sisyphus/perl-5.32.0-d/bin/perl" -MExtUtils::Command::MM -e 'cp
+_nonempty' -- Lorcon2.bs blib/arch/auto/Net/Lorcon2/Lorcon2.bs 644

+ test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

+d interface and injector name and run as root to run these tests
t/05-pod-coverage.t .. ok
t/06-test-pod.t ...... ok
All tests successful.
Files=6, Tests=3,  1 wallclock secs ( 0.05 usr  0.01 sys +  0.49 cusr 
+ 0.03 csys =  0.58 CPU)
Result: PASS
[download]

Before I proceed further, I would like to run those skipped tests.
How do I find valid interface and injector names that I can use ? (I have no idea what they are, and no idea if any exist on this system.)
According to lorcon_list_drivers(), drivers named 'madwifing', 'tuntap' and 'mac80211' were found.

Cheers,
Rob

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
