Bug 111147

Summary:	hostapd.conf is not documented
Product:	Documentation	Reporter:	Mohacsi Janos <mohacsi>

Description Mohacsi Janos 2007-04-02 17:50:01 UTC

The manual page of hostapd.conf(5) is rather superficial. Based on the 
information available on the man page nobody can configure hostapd.conf.

Fix: 

Copy /usr/src/contrib/hostapd/hostapd.conf to 
	/usr/share/examples/hostapd/
	+
	update man page referring to the examples.
How-To-Repeat: 	have a look at the man page.

The example file mentioned in the PR is copied to 
/usr/share/examples/hostapd.conf . I guess it is possible to flesh out 
the manual page, but that requires someone with a throughout knowledge 
of how hostapd.conf works.

Since 7.0-RELEASE, we have a more descriptive man page that has more
information about setting hostapd.conf up.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hostapd.conf

Do you think that this is sufficient now?

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

PR closed, now that we have a more descriptive man page. Sorry for taking so long 
for it.
