+hostapd - IEEE 802.11 AP, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator
+
+hostapd is a user space daemon for access point and authentication servers.
+It implements IEEE 802.11 access point management, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP
+Authenticators, RADIUS client, EAP server, and RADIUS authentication server.
+The current version supports Linux (Host AP, madwifi, Prism54 drivers) and
+FreeBSD (net80211).
+
+This is tested (by the submitter) with the madwifi driver, but it should also
+work with some other chipsets. If you plan to use the madwifi driver, then
+uncomment the madwifi section in the provided config file.
