This command creates an Access Point (AP) using the create_ap
utility. Here is an explanation of each argument:
--driver ${wifi_adapter}
: This specifies the driver to be used for the WiFi adapter. The${wifi_adapter}
variable should be replaced with the name of the driver for your specific WiFi adapter.${wlan0}
: This is the name of the physical wireless interface that will be used to create the AP. Replace${wlan0}
with the actual name of the interface.${eth0}
: This is the name of the Ethernet interface that will be used to provide internet connectivity to the AP. Replace${eth0}
with the actual name of the interface.${access_point_ssid}
: This specifies the desired SSID (Service Set Identifier) or the name of the AP that will be created. Replace${access_point_ssid}
with the desired name for your Access Point.${passphrase}
: This is the passphrase or password that will be required to connect to the Access Point. Replace${passphrase}
with the desired password.
