1505214503Srpaulo# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
1506214503Srpaulo# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
1507214503Srpaulo# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
1508214503Srpaulo#
1509214503Srpaulo# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
1510214503Srpaulo# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
1511214503Srpaulo# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
1512214503Srpaulo# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
1513214503Srpaulo# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
1514214503Srpaulo# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
1515214503Srpaulo# administered bit)
1516214503Srpaulo#
1517214503Srpaulo# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
1518214503Srpaulo# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
1519214503Srpaulo# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
1520214503Srpaulo# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
1521214503Srpaulo# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
1522214503Srpaulo# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
1523214503Srpaulo#
1524214503Srpaulo# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS
1525214503Srpaulo# as the defaults for the following BSSes. However, it is recommended that all
1526214503Srpaulo# BSSes include explicit configuration of all relevant configuration items.
