# Wireless options reference
## Description
This connection method uses wpa_supplicant to configure a wireless network connection. 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'. Old iwconfig based configuration code can be used with 'wep-old' and 'none-old'.
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 of the network to connect to.
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)
: Arguments to pass to iwconfig before attempting to configure the connection. For example, BSSID.
### 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)
: The wpa_supplicant driver interface to be used. Defaults to 'wext'. nl80211 based drivers are recommended to use 'nl80211'
### 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.
