IFCFG(5) Network configuration IFCFG(5)
NAME
ifcfg-wireless - wireless LAN network interface configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-*
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-type-wlan
GENERAL
Wireless networks need some additional configuration data compared to ethernet ones. Therefore additional variables for ifcfg files were
introduced. All wireless LAN specific variables are described in the ifcfg template file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template. It is pos-
sible to configure more than one wireless network accepted for association. To achieve this add suffix _1 to all wireless variables for the
second network, _2 for the this, and so on. Example: WIRELESS_ESSID_1="second_net" You can have up to ten wireless networks configured.
Some wireless variables are not applicable to a single wireless network but are global to the interface. The description of the variable
points this out.
