Mininet-Optical-WiFi is a fork of Mininet-Wifi (wich is a fork of Mininet) which allows the using of both WiFi Stations and Access Points, as well as Optical ROADMs with LINC-OE switches (LINC switches with Optical Extensions).
The Optical Features are best used with ONOS. Refer to https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/Packet+Optical+Tutorial for a tutorial on how to use it (you can skip the Packet Optical Dev Environment setup part, as Mininet-Optical-Wireless takes care of that).
step 1: $ sudo apt-get install git
step 2: $ git clone https://github.com/vmehmeri/mininet-optical-wifi
step 3: $ cd mininet-optical-wifi
step 4: $ sudo util/install.sh -Wonfvl

Mininet-WiFi should work fine in any Ubuntu distribution from 14.04, but in some cases (only if you have problems when starting 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).
