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 possible 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.
