How to run wifiroaming.py in OpenNet?

[Prerequisite]

Please refer to https://github.com/dlinknctu/OpenNet, http://www.slideshare.net/rascov/20140824-open-net, and http://vimeo.com/mcchan/opennet for more information.

[Steps]

1. Please follow the instructions of "Use OpenNet VM image" to download the OpenNet 1.1 VM image.

2. Start the OpenNet VM.

3. Input "nctuopennet" for password.

4.open a terminal to download the qt4 and qt4-devel to compile netansim. (Please refer to https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/NetAnim_3.105 for more information)

5. Open another terminal to start a pox controller for packet forwarding and then run OpenNet.

6. Open another terminal to run NetAnim

click the open file button.

choose the wifi-wired-bridged4.xml.

Then it shows core dumped.

7. How to solve the above problem? I referred to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ns-3-users/cWwz-zK8MLs. Then modify the wifiroaming.py to mywifiroaming.py.
