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).
