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
