149# You can customize the ACS survey algorithm with following variables:
150#
151# acs_num_scans requirement is 1..100 - number of scans to be performed that
152# are used to trigger survey data gathering of an underlying device driver.
153# Scans are passive and typically take a little over 100ms (depending on the
154# driver) on each available channel for given hw_mode. Increasing this value
155# means sacrificing startup time and gathering more data wrt channel
156# interference that may help choosing a better channel. This can also help fine
157# tune the ACS scan time in case a driver has different scan dwell times.
158#

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

1870##### Multiple BSSID support ##################################################
1871#
1872# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
1873# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
1874# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
1875#
1876# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
1877# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
1878# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
90ac1f9f
JM
1879# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
1880# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
1881# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
1882# administered bit)
6fc6879b
JM
1883#
1884# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
1885# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
1886# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
1887# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
1888# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
1889# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
1890#
978c6730
JM
1891# Not all drivers support multiple BSSes. The exact mechanism for determining
1892# the driver capabilities is driver specific. With the current (i.e., a recent
