176# You can customize the ACS survey algorithm with following variables:
177#
178# acs_num_scans requirement is 1..100 - number of scans to be performed that
179# are used to trigger survey data gathering of an underlying device driver.
180# Scans are passive and typically take a little over 100ms (depending on the
181# driver) on each available channel for given hw_mode. Increasing this value
182# means sacrificing startup time and gathering more data wrt channel
183# interference that may help choosing a better channel. This can also help fine
184# tune the ACS scan time in case a driver has different scan dwell times.
185#
Dmitry Shmidt7f656022015-02-25 14:36:37 -0800186# acs_chan_bias is a space-separated list of <channel>:<bias> pairs. It can be
187# used to increase (or decrease) the likelihood of a specific channel to be
188# selected by the ACS algorithm. The total interference factor for each channel
189# gets multiplied by the specified bias value before finding the channel with
190# the lowest value. In other words, values between 0.0 and 1.0 can be used to
191# make a channel more likely to be picked while values larger than 1.0 make the
192# specified channel less likely to be picked. This can be used, e.g., to prefer

Dmitry Shmidt8d520ff2011-05-09 14:06:53 -07002957##### Multiple BSSID support ##################################################
2958#
2959# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
2960# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
2961# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
2962#
2963# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
2964# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
2965# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
2966# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
2967# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
2968# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
2969# administered bit)
2970#
2971# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
2972# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
2973# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
2974# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
2975# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
2976# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
2977#
Dmitry Shmidt31a29cc2016-03-09 15:58:17 -08002978# Alternatively, the 'use_driver_iface_addr' parameter can be used to request
2979# hostapd to use the driver auto-generated interface address (e.g., to use the
2980# exact MAC addresses allocated to the device).
2981#
Dmitry Shmidtdf5a7e42014-04-02 12:59:59 -07002982# Not all drivers support multiple BSSes. The exact mechanism for determining
2983# the driver capabilities is driver specific. With the current (i.e., a recent
2984# kernel) drivers using nl80211, this information can be checked with "iw list"
2985# (search for "valid interface combinations").

Dmitry Shmidt8d520ff2011-05-09 14:06:53 -07002987# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS
