Changing WiFi inteface behavior
===============================

== LibreMesh WiFi config

For more information about the LibreMesh config file options see link:/docs/en_config.html[config].

The general config WiFi section is used for configuring WiFi devices if there are not specific sections.
The general config looks like the following example.

----
config lime 'wifi'
	option channel_2ghz '11'
	option channel_5ghz '48'
	option htmode_5ghz 'HT40'
	option distance '1000'
	list modes 'ap'
	list modes 'apname'
	list modes 'ieee80211s'
	option ap_ssid 'LibreMesh.org'
	option apname_ssid 'LibreMesh.org/%H'
	option adhoc_ssid 'LiMe'
	option adhoc_bssid 'ca:fe:00:c0:ff:ee'
	option adhoc_mcast_rate_2ghz '24000'
	option adhoc_mcast_rate_5ghz '6000'
	option ieee80211s_mesh_fwding '0'
	option ieee80211s_mesh_id 'LiMe'
----

To make a specific configuration you must create a new wifi section named radio**N**, where **N** is the radio index (to see WiFi devices list execute: iw list).

The following example shows how to configure specific WiFi devices.
In the example radio0 is used only for meshing and radio1 is used only for Access Point.

----
config wifi 'radio0'
	list modes 'ieee80211s'
	option ieee80211s_mesh_id 'LiMe'
	option ieee80211s_mesh_fwding '0'
	option channel_2ghz '11'
	option channel_5ghz '48'
	option distance '1000'

config wifi 'radio1'
	list modes 'ap'
	list modes 'apname'
	option apname_ssid 'LibreMesh.org/%H'
	option apname_key 'mypassword'
	option apname_encryption 'psk2'
	option ap_ssid 'LibreMesh.org'
	option ap_key 'mypassword'
	option ap_encryption 'psk2'
	option channel_2ghz '11'
	option channel_5ghz '48'
	option distance '1000'
----

These two new sections must be appened in file **/etc/config/lime** in addition to the already existing ones.

To apply the changes run **lime-config** and **lime-apply**.
