There is a list of wireless related "ideas" on the wiki which at least mentions one hostapd feature. Well, there are 2 kinds of settings, those which configure 802.11 features as defined in the standards (eg. ht_capab), and those which are plan stack stuff, as in multi-VAP support or VLANS. The later might have howtos or something available. However, there's now way around reading at least the source, the supplicant source, the stack source and anything in between. =2D-=20 Bernhard
