  • Hi Johncy,

    These are the wpa_supplicant specifics and not related to the driver... You can take a look at the hostapd.conf itself...
    Excerpts:

    # SSID to be used in IEEE 802.11 management frames
    ssid=test
    # Alternative formats for configuring SSID
    # (double quoted string, hexdump, printf-escaped string)
    #ssid2="test"
    #ssid2=74657374
    #ssid2=P"hello\nthere"

    # UTF-8 SSID: Whether the SSID is to be interpreted using UTF-8 encoding
    #utf8_ssid=1
