wpa_supplicant to hostapd dynamically

[Avinash Patil]

Hi Drasko,

Well, I don't have any experience with DBus so cannot comment on that.

You can configure frequency,SSID, security configuration etc in network
block. Sample configuration for AP using wpa_supplicant would look like
this:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

ap_scan=1

network={
        ssid="my_supp_network"
        key_mgmt=NONE
        mode=2
        frequency=2432
}


Thanks,

Avinash.
