Create a VAP interface

The following parameters can be customized depending on the expected configuration:

  • athN: name of the VAP interface to create. If the command succeeds, a new Linux network device interface with that name will be created. This will be the interface used to connect with IP network stack, and used to configure the VAP parameters

  • wifiN: indicates the interface to which the VAP will attach. The interface number is required for the argument. This is a mandatory argument, as in systems where multiple radio are connected, this will represent the radio to use for this particular VAP.

  • [ap|sta|adhoc|mon]: indicates the mode for the VAP. ap will create an AP VAP, sta will create an STA, adhoc will create an AdHoc VAP and mon will create a monitor VAP
