WLAN

Different modes

station

Basic station. Find and connects to a suitable access point.

station-wds

Same as "station", but creates a wds bridge with the AP using proprietary extension.

NOTE, the AP must be configured to permit wds connections.

ap-bridge

Basic access point

bridge

Same as "ap-bridge", but only allows one connected client at a time.

alignment only

Sets the interface to continuous transmitting state which directs all traffic to an external antenna.

nstreme-dual-slave

Permits the interface to be used with nstreme-dual

wds-slave

Same as "ap-bridge", but scans the access point's ssid and establishes a wds-link. If the link is severed, it will keep scanning.

station-pseudobridge

Same as "station", but adds MAC-address faking to all traffic.

station-pseudobridge-clone

Same as "station-pseudobridge", but uses "station-bridge-clone-mac" address to connect to the access point.

station-bridge

In this state the AP keeps a distributable table of mac-addresses which it has been given from client machines or from other access points' tables.

Small adjustments

tx-power-mode

Here we define the tx-power (transmit) state on the wireless interface. Default setting is "Default".

• all rates fixed

Uses the same transmit power for all data.

• card rates

Uses those transmit settings which have been defined in Tx power's settings.

• default

Uses those settings which came by default in the WLAN interface card.

• manual

All data must manually be defined their transmit power.
