@ -118,8 +118,15 @@ wifi24 \: optional
Additionally it is possible to configure the ``supported_rates`` and ``basic_rate``
of each radio. Both are optional, by default hostapd/driver dictate the rates.
If ``supported_rates`` is set, ``basic_rate`` is required, because ``basic_rate``
has to be a subset of ``supported_rates``.
The example below disables 802.11b rates.
has to be a subset of ``supported_rates``. Possible values are:
- 6000, 9000, 12000, 18000, 24000, 36000, 48000, 54000 (OFDM)
- 1000, 5500, 11000 (legacy 802.11b, DSSS)
The example below disables legacy 802.11b rates (DSSS) for performance reasons.
For backwards compatibility in 802.11, this setting only effects 802.11a/b/g rates.
I.e in 802.11n 6 MBit/s is announced all time. In 802.11ac the field is used to
derive the length of a packet.
``ap`` requires a single parameter, a string, named ``ssid`` which sets the
interface's ESSID. This is the WiFi the clients connect to.
