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

924# WPS capability discovery workaround for PBC with Windows 7
925# Windows 7 uses incorrect way of figuring out AP's WPS capabilities by acting
926# as a Registrar and using M1 from the AP. The config methods attribute in that
927# message is supposed to indicate only the configuration method supported by
928# the AP in Enrollee role, i.e., to add an external Registrar. For that case,
929# PBC shall not be used and as such, the PushButton config method is removed
930# from M1 by default. If pbc_in_m1=1 is included in the configuration file,
931# the PushButton config method is left in M1 (if included in config_methods
932# parameter) to allow Windows 7 to use PBC instead of PIN (e.g., from a label

1024# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
1025#
1026# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
1027# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
1028# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting

1029# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
1030# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
1031# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
1032# administered bit)
6fc6879b
JM
1033#
1034# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
1035# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
1036# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
1037# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
1038# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
1039# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
1040#
1041# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS
1042# as the defaults for the following BSSes. However, it is recommended that all
