Description: user space IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticator
Originally, hostapd was an optional user space component for Host AP
driver. It adds more features to the basic IEEE 802.11 management
included in the kernel driver: using external RADIUS authentication
server for MAC address based access control, IEEE 802.1X Authenticator
and dynamic WEP keying, RADIUS accounting, WPA/WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i/RSN)
Authenticator and dynamic TKIP/CCMP keying.
.
The current version includes support for other drivers, an integrated
EAP authenticator (i.e., allow full authentication without requiring
an external RADIUS authentication server), and RADIUS authentication
server for EAP authentication.
.
hostapd works with the following drivers:
.
* mac80211 based drivers with support for master mode [linux]
* Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3 [linux]
* Driver interface for FreeBSD net80211 layer [kfreebsd]
* Any wired Ethernet driver for wired IEEE 802.1X authentication.
