+.SH NAME
+hostapd.conf \- configuration file for hostapd(8) utility
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The hostapd.conf utility is an authenticator for IEEE 802.11 networks.
+It provides full support for WPA/IEEE 802.11i and can also act as an IEEE
+802.1X Authenticator with a suitable backend Authentication Server
+(typically FreeRADIUS).
+The configuration file consists of global parameters and domain specific
+configuration:
+.P
+\(bu IEEE 802.1X-2004
+.P
+\(bu RADIUS client
+.P
+\(bu RADIUS authentication server
+.P
+\(bu WPA/IEEE 802.11i
+.SH GLOBAL PARAMETERS
+The following parameters are recognized:
+.SS interface
+Interface name.  Should be set in "hostap" mode.
+.SS debug
+Debugging mode: 0 = no, 1 = minimal, 2 = verbose, 3 = msg dumps,
+4 = excessive.
+.SS dump_file
+Dump file for state information (on SIGUSR1).
+.SS ctrl_interface
+The pathname of the directory in which hostapd(8) creates UNIX
+domain socket files for communication with frontend programs such
+as hostapd_cli(8).
+.SS ctrl_interface_group
+A group name or group ID to use in setting protection on the
+control interface file.  This can be set to allow non-root users
+to access the control interface files.  If no group is specified,
+the group ID of the control interface is not modified and will,
+typically, be the group ID of the directory in which the socket
+is created.
+.SH IEEE 802.1X-2004 PARAMETERS
+The following parameters are recognized:
+.SS ieee8021x
+Require IEEE 802.1X authorization.
+.SS eap_message
+Optional displayable message sent with EAP Request-Identity.
+.SS wep_key_len_broadcast
+Key lengths for broadcast keys.
+.SS wep_key_len_unicast
+Key lengths for unicast keys.
+.SS wep_rekey_period
+Rekeying period in seconds.
+.SS eapol_key_index_workaround
+EAPOL-Key index workaround (set bit7) for WinXP Supplicant.
+.SS eap_reauth_period
+EAP reauthentication period in seconds.  To disable
+reauthentication, use "0".
+.SH RADIUS CLIENT PARAMETERS
+The following parameters are recognized:
+.SS own_ip_addr
+The own IP address of the access point (used as NAS-IP-Address).
+.SS nas_identifier
+Optional NAS-Identifier string for RADIUS messages.
+.SS auth_server_addr, auth_server_port, auth_server_shared_secret
+RADIUS authentication server parameters.  Can be defined twice
+for secondary servers to be used if primary one does not reply to
+RADIUS packets.
+.SS acct_server_addr, acct_server_port, acct_server_shared_secret
+RADIUS accounting server parameters.  Can be defined twice for
+secondary servers to be used if primary one does not reply to
+RADIUS packets.
+.SS radius_retry_primary_interval
+Retry interval for trying to return to the primary RADIUS server
+(in seconds).
+.SS radius_acct_interim_interval
+Interim accounting update interval.  If this is set (larger than
+0) and acct_server is configured, hostapd(8) will send interim
+accounting updates every N seconds.
+.SH RADIUS AUTHENTICATION SERVER PARAMETERS
+The following parameters are recognized:
+.SS radius_server_clients
+File name of the RADIUS clients configuration for the RADIUS
+server.  If this is commented out, RADIUS server is disabled.
+.SS radius_server_auth_port
+The UDP port number for the RADIUS authentication server.
+.SS radius_server_ipv6
+Use IPv6 with RADIUS server.
+.SH WPA/IEEE 802.11i PARAMETERS
+The following parameters are recognized:
+.SS wpa
+Enable WPA.  Setting this variable configures the AP to require
+WPA (either WPA-PSK or WPA-RADIUS/EAP based on other
+configuration).
+.SS wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase
+WPA pre-shared keys for WPA-PSK.  This can be either entered as a
+256-bit secret in hex format (64 hex digits), wpa_psk, or as an
+ASCII passphrase (8..63 characters) that will be converted to
+PSK.  This conversion uses SSID so the PSK changes when ASCII
+passphrase is used and the SSID is changed.
+.SS wpa_psk_file
+Optionally, WPA PSKs can be read from a separate text file
+(containing a list of (PSK,MAC address) pairs.
+.SS wpa_key_mgmt
+Set of accepted key management algorithms (WPA-PSK, WPA-EAP, or
+both).
+.SS wpa_pairwise
+Set of accepted cipher suites (encryption algorithms) for
+pairwise keys (unicast packets).  See the example file for more
+information.
+.SS wpa_group_rekey
+Time interval for rekeying GTK (broadcast/multicast encryption
+keys) in seconds.
+.SS wpa_strict_rekey
+Rekey GTK when any STA that possesses the current GTK is leaving
+the BSS.
+.SS wpa_gmk_rekey
+Time interval for rekeying GMK (master key used internally to
+generate GTKs (in seconds).
