2011-06-23Use a common text explaining how the various configuration parsers usingStuart Henderson
the standard OpenBSD-style parse.y handle continuing lines with backslashes, paying particular attention to how comments are handled (which can cause nasty side-effects if you're not expecting it). Most wording from jmc@, with suggestions from fgsch@, marc@, Richard Toohey, patrick keshishian and Florian Obser, ok jmc@.

2006-03-10some IAPP implementations still use the pre-standard port 2313 in broadcastReyk Floeter
mode (tested with the HP ProCurve 420wl). add a note to the manual page and the example configuration.
2005-12-29add an 'include' rule to hostapd.conf(5); based on an older diff fromReyk Floeter
dhartmei@ for the parser. this is useful if you have many hostapd systems using the same configuration but individual local definitions (like macros or table entries).

2005-12-10add an option to increase the multicast ttl which is currently limitedReyk Floeter
to 1 hop. by using a higher multicast ttl, you could use inter-network multicast forwarding of hostapd messages (i.e. with mrouted(8) or multicast-capable routing switches); "set iapp mode multicast ttl 2".

2005-11-20add support for multiple hostap (wireless) interfaces.Reyk Floeter
for example, if you run one hostapd with two ath(4) devices. you have to specify "set hostap interface { ath0, ath1 }" in hostapd.conf(5). man page bits by jmc@, tested by others
2005-11-17remove the BNF grammar definition from the manual page. it's getting aReyk Floeter
pain to maintain this (have a look at parse.y for some BNF). theo was right...
2005-11-16add a configuration option for specifying a non-standard port and multicastReyk Floeter
address for the IAPP messages. this is an initial approach to run multiple hostapds on one machine, further work will be done later.

ok reyk@
2005-06-17first step to implement a proactive wireless monitoring system usingReyk Floeter
hostapd(8). it's a very simple but powerful approach using highly flexible and stateless event and action rules for IEEE 802.11 traffic. you can monitor a wireless network by watching frames with types and addresses (with support for tables and masks) and you can trigger actions like writing log messages, sending pcap/radiotap dumps to the IAPP network, removing nodes from the hostap, resending received frames and sending contructed 802.11 frames in reply to traffic received from any rogue nodes. it's based on some initial work from the c2k5 which has been tested and improved during the last weeks. some missing documentation for hostapd.conf(5) will be written as soon as possible. ok deraadt@
