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
JM
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).

955# For example, check_cert_subject=C=US/O=XX/OU=ABC/OU=XYZ/CN=1234 will check

2521##### Multiple BSSID support ##################################################
2522#
2523# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
2524# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
2525# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
2526#
2527# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
2528# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
2529# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
90ac1f9f
JM
2530# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
2531# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
2532# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
2533# administered bit)
6fc6879b
JM
2534#
2535# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
2536# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
2537# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
2538# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
2539# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
2540# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
2541#
6448e064
EP
2542# Alternatively, the 'use_driver_iface_addr' parameter can be used to request
2543# hostapd to use the driver auto-generated interface address (e.g., to use the
2544# exact MAC addresses allocated to the device).
2545#
978c6730
JM
2546# Not all drivers support multiple BSSes. The exact mechanism for determining
2547# the driver capabilities is driver specific. With the current (i.e., a recent
2548# kernel) drivers using nl80211, this information can be checked with "iw list"
2549# (search for "valid interface combinations").
