This connection uses the 'ethernet' connection after successful association and thus supports all of it's options. - -## Options -INTERFACE (required) -: The wireless interface to configure -SECURITY (required for security of 'wep', 'wpa', 'wpa-configsection' or 'wpa-config') -: One of 'wpa', 'wep', 'none', 'wpa-configsection' or 'wpa-config'. Defaults to 'none'. -KEY (required for SECURITY of 'wpa' or 'wep' only) -: Wireless encryption key. -ESSID (this or AP is required) -: Name of network to connect to. -AP (this or ESSID is required) -: AP (BSSID) of the network to connect to. -HIDDEN (optional) -: Define this to connect to hidden ESSIDs. -ADHOC (optional) -: Define this to use ad-hoc mode for wireless. -TIMEOUT (optional) -: Time to wait for association. Defaults to 15 seconds. -SCAN (optional) -: yes/no Scan for a wireless network rather than blindly attempting to connect. Hidden SSID networks do not appear in a scan. -IWCONFIG (optional, deprecated) -: Run iwconfig with these options before attempting to configure the connection. - -### WPA options -WPA_CONF (for SECURITY of 'wpa-config' only) -: Path to wpa_supplicant configuration. Defaults to '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -WPA_OPTS -: Extra arguments for wpa_supplicant not specified otherwise. -WPA_GROUP -: Group that has authority to configure wpa_supplicant via it's control interface. Used in any configuration that is generated by netcfg. -WPA_COUNTRY (optional, nl80211 based drivers) -: The country where the device will be used. This allows wpa_supplicant to enforce any local regulatory limitations and will allow all appropriate channels/frequencies for your device. -WPA_DRIVER (optional) -: A comma-separated list of wpa_supplicant driver interfaces to try. Defaults to 'nl80211,wext'. - -### rfkill (Radio Kill Switch) options -RFKILL -: hard/soft A switch with physical on/off state that cannot be controlled via software is considered a 'hard' switch. Any switch that can be controlled via software is considered 'soft'. -RFKILL_NAME -: Some switches sysfs entries are not linked with the interface. To match them up, configure the name from /sys/class/rfkill/rfkillX/name here so that netcfg can identify which to control. |
