- You can use any wireless network tools (e.g. iw, iwconfig, wpa_supplicant, etc)
- Please consider computer network troubleshooting steps to solve issues before making questions in the mailing list (e.g. is the station associated with ap? Is the OpenFlow rule working correctly? etc)
- Do you need help? Be careful with questions in the mailing list and please providing as much information you can.

I'm a beginner, I do not know Python and I would like to create a customized topology. In this case, both MiniEdit and VND can serve as support since they provide a GUI to generate Python scripts.

Mininet-WiFi should work fine in any Ubuntu distribution from 14.04, but in some cases (only if you have problems when start it) you have to stop NetworkManager with stop network-manager (you can also use sudo systemctl stop network-manager or sudo service network-manager stop).
