Without the help of nm-applet to test the WPS flow, how can I confirm
the WPS functionality in NM is correct?

Thanks. I will check this.

BTW, could you give me some instructions for problems belows

In my plan, I will try to add the easiest scenario first:
i. press the pbc on AP
ii. NM trigger scan to know the AP is ready for WPS via PBC method
iii. NM trigger the wpa_supplicant to start the PBC action
vi. the connection between STA(NM) and AP is constructed

With the WPS patch in the first email, I believe that if the user
trigger a scan in
NM after the pbc of an AP is pressed, NM will know there is an AP ready for WPS.

But in iii), I don't know when the user select an AP to connect on the
nm-applet, where is the corresponding function call
in NM. I am trying to figure out the flow of triggering the
wpa_supplicant to connect to the selected AP from NM.
