167# ACS tuning - Automatic Channel Selection
168# See: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/acs
169#
170# You can customize the ACS survey algorithm with following variables:
171#
172# acs_num_scans requirement is 1..100 - number of scans to be performed that
173# are used to trigger survey data gathering of an underlying device driver.
174# Scans are passive and typically take a little over 100ms (depending on the
175# driver) on each available channel for given hw_mode. Increasing this value
176# means sacrificing startup time and gathering more data wrt channel
177# interference that may help choosing a better channel. This can also help fine
178# tune the ACS scan time in case a driver has different scan dwell times.
179#
68fa00c3

180# acs_chan_bias is a space-separated list of <channel>:<bias> pairs. It can be
181# used to increase (or decrease) the likelihood of a specific channel to be
182# selected by the ACS algorithm. The total interference factor for each channel
183# gets multiplied by the specified bias value before finding the channel with
184# the lowest value. In other words, values between 0.0 and 1.0 can be used to
185# make a channel more likely to be picked while values larger than 1.0 make the
186# specified channel less likely to be picked. This can be used, e.g., to prefer
187# the commonly used 2.4 GHz band channels 1, 6, and 11 (which is the default
188# behavior on 2.4 GHz band if no acs_chan_bias parameter is specified).
