1 Hostapd is a user space daemon for access point and authentication
2 servers.
3 It implements IEEE 802.11 access point management,
4 IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticators, RADIUS client, EAP server,
5 and RADIUS authentication server.
6 The current version supports Linux (Host AP, madwifi, mac80211-based
7 drivers) and FreeBSD (net80211).
9 hostapd is designed to be a "daemon" program that runs in the
10 background and acts as the backend component controlling authentication.
11 Hostapd supports separate frontend programs and an example text-based
12 frontend, hostapd_cli, is included with hostapd.
