generates detailed logs.
Here
hostapd.conf
is used as a configuration file that has all the information related to the channel,
security etc. A sample of file which can be used is given below.
The access point is configured with an SSID value “
jody-w2
” with the passphrase
12345678
for WPA2
based encryption. It operates in channel 36 with 80 MHz bandwidth.
