hostapd for Debian
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package provides two methods for managing hostapd process(es); an
|
||
|
|
initscript and an ifupdown hook. Both methods require creation of a
|
||
|
|
hostapd daemon configuration file (eg. /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf) to
|
||
|
|
function correctly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An example hostapd.conf may be used as a template but _must_ be edited
|
||
|
|
to suit your local configuration. An example is located at:
|
||
|
|
/usr/share/doc/hostapd/examples/hostapd.conf.gz
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the example as a template:
|
||
|
|
# zcat /usr/share/doc/hostapd/examples/hostapd.conf.gz > \
|
||
|
|
/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
|
||
|
|
# $EDITOR /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the initscript method of starting a hostapd daemon see
|
||
|
|
/etc/default/hostapd.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the ifupdown method, the path to hostapd configuration file can
|
||
|
|
be specified in a network interfaces configuration stanza in
|
||
|
|
/etc/network/interfaces like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
iface eth1 inet static
|
||
|
|
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The hostapd process will be started in the pre-up phase of ifup, and be
|
||
|
|
terminated in the post-down phase of ifdown.

Please note:
|
||
|
|
* If you want to use hostapd with a Prism2/2.5/3 card in WPA mode, you'll need
|
||
|
|
STA firmware version >= 1.7.0.
