We have no control over this # but we can say how many scans we want to do to try and get a better sweep of # the area. The default is 1. #scans_eth0="1" #Channel can be set (1-14), but defaults to 3 if not set. # # The below is taken verbatim from the BSD wavelan documentation found at # http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/wavelan.html # There are 14 channels possible; We are told that channels 1-11 are legal for # North America, channels 1-13 for most of Europe, channels 10-13 for France, # and only channel 14 for Japan. If in doubt, please refer to the documentation # that came with your card or access point. Make sure that the channel you # select is the same channel your access point (or the other card in an ad-hoc # network) is on. The default for cards sold in North America and most of Europe # is 3; the default for cards sold in France is 11, and the default for cards # sold in Japan is 14. #channel_eth0="3" # Setup any other config commands.
