hostapd.conf \- configuration file for hostapd(8) utility
|
|
|
264ba8 |
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
264ba8 |
The hostapd.conf utility is an authenticator for IEEE 802.11 networks.
|
|
|
264ba8 |
It provides full support for WPA/IEEE 802.11i and can also act as an IEEE
|
|
|
264ba8 |
802.1X Authenticator with a suitable backend Authentication Server
|
|
|
264ba8 |
(typically FreeRADIUS).
|
|
|
264ba8 |
The configuration file consists of global parameters and domain specific
|
|
|
264ba8 |
