8# In case of madwifi, atheros, and nl80211 driver interfaces, an additional
9# configuration parameter, bridge, may be used to notify hostapd if the
10# interface is included in a bridge. This parameter is not used with Host AP
11# driver. If the bridge parameter is not set, the drivers will automatically
12# figure out the bridge interface (assuming sysfs is enabled and mounted to
13# /sys) and this parameter may not be needed.
14#
15# For nl80211, this parameter can be used to request the AP interface to be
16# added to the bridge automatically (brctl may refuse to do this before hostapd
17# has been started to change the interface mode). If needed, the bridge

1333##### Multiple BSSID support ##################################################
1334#
1335# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
1336# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
1337# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
1338#
1339# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
1340# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
1341# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
90ac1f9f
JM
1342# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
1343# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
1344# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
1345# administered bit)
6fc6879b
JM
1346#
1347# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
1348# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
1349# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
1350# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
1351# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
1352# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
1353#
1354# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS
1355# as the defaults for the following BSSes. However, it is recommended that all
1356# BSSes include explicit configuration of all relevant configuration items.
