If wpa_psk_file is not set, the # default PSK (wpa_psk/wpa_passphrase) will be delivered to Enrollees. Use of # per-device PSKs is recommended as the more secure option (i.e., make sure to # set wpa_psk_file when using WPS with WPA-PSK). # When an Enrollee requests access to the network with PIN method, the Enrollee # PIN will need to be entered for the Registrar.

Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with # default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS. # # hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are # configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is # not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting # hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether ). # # BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is # specified using the 'bssid' parameter. # If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it: # - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr # - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio # - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID # # Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS # as the defaults for the following BSSes. However, it is recommended that all # BSSes include explicit configuration of all relevant configuration items. # #bss=wlan0_0 #ssid=test2 # most of the above items can be used here (apart from radio interface specific # items, like channel) #bss=wlan0_1 #bssid=00:13:10:95:fe:0b # ...
