I am working on a project where I have to connect a linux laptop with an android tablet using wifi direct.The tablet already has the wifi direct option but the laptop doesnt. Can someone please tell what is the procedure I need to follow to get Wifi direct working on my laptop.
I am using samsung NP-R528 laptop with ubuntu 12.04.
Edit: I have figured out that i have to install wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli to use p2p commands I followed the process given in the following link But when I try to connect(using p2p_connect pin keypad) it to my andorid tablet the followin happens
on linux machine it shows GO_NEG_SUCCESS , P2p-GROUP-FORMATION-SUCCESS ,P2P-GROUP-STARTED ,WPS-SUCCESS and then immediately CTRL-EVENT-EAP-FAILURE #android's MAC# , AP-STA-CONNECTED #android's MAC#, AP-STA-DISCONNECTED #android's MAC#
When i use adb to see log cat it also shows the same thing that group is formed and then immediately P2P-GROUP-REMOVED.
same thing happened when I tried the other way round(i.e. form android to ubuntu)

I have figured that The problem was caused because of the dhcp server not responding.I have found a temporary fix by assigning a static IP address to both the devices.
