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
18# interface is also created.

71# run as non-root users. However, since the control interface can be used to
72# change the network configuration, this access needs to be protected in many
73# cases. By default, hostapd is configured to use gid 0 (root). If you
74# want to allow non-root users to use the contron interface, add a new group
75# and change this value to match with that group. Add users that should have

1379##### Multiple BSSID support ##################################################
1380#
1381# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
1382# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
1383# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
1384#
1385# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
1386# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
1387# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
90ac1f9f
JM
1388# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
1389# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
1390# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
1391# administered bit)
6fc6879b
JM
1392#
1393# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
1394# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
1395# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
1396# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
1397# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
1398# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
1399#
1400# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS
1401# as the defaults for the following BSSes. However, it is recommended that all
1402# BSSes include explicit configuration of all relevant configuration items.
