#tldr : #TODO ```bash # For nl80211, this parameter can be used to request the AP interface to be # added to the bridge automatically (brctl may refuse to do this before hostapd # has been started to change the interface mode). If needed, the bridge # interface is also created. bridge=br0 ``` # Operation mode ```bash # (a = IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz), b = IEEE 802.11b (2.4 GHz), # g = IEEE 802.11g (2.4 GHz), ad = IEEE 802.11ad (60 GHz); a/g options are used # with IEEE 802.11n (HT), too, to specify band). For IEEE 802.11ac (VHT), this # needs to be set to hw_mode=a. For IEEE 802.11ax (HE) on 6 GHz this needs # to be set to hw_mode=a. When using ACS (see channel parameter), a # special value "any" can be used to indicate that any support band can be used. # This special case is currently supported only with drivers with which # offloaded ACS is used. # Default: IEEE 802.11b hw_mode=g ``` ```bash # IEEE 802.11 specifies two authentication algorithms. hostapd can be # configured to allow both of these or only one. Open system authentication # should be used with IEEE 802.1X. # Bit fields of allowed authentication algorithms: # bit 0 = Open System Authentication # bit 1 = Shared Key Authentication (requires WEP) auth_algs=3 ```
