74# change the network configuration, this access needs to be protected in many
75# cases. By default, hostapd is configured to use gid 0 (root). If you

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).

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

969# For example, check_cert_subject=C=US/O=XX/OU=Production* and we have two

2561##### Multiple BSSID support ##################################################
2562#
2563# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
2564# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
2565# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
2566#
2567# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
2568# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
2569# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
90ac1f9f
JM
2570# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
2571# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other

2573# administered bit)
6fc6879b
JM
2574#
2575# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
2576# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
2577# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
2578# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
2579# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
2580# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
2581#

2582# Alternatively, the 'use_driver_iface_addr' parameter can be used to request
