# The WLAN_DEVICES variable identifies the device names of each WLAN device.
# If you have more than one, make sure each one is identified in a whitespace
# separated list that's assigned to WLAN_DEVICES.
#
# For each device named in WLAN_DEVICES, the function wlandevice_config will
# be called with $1 set to the name of the device. To specify the
# setup for each device, just add an appropriate case section.

#=======ENABLE========================================
# Do we want to enable the card at all? Set to 'n' if you don't
# want the card initialized for normal operation. Helpful for
# (re)loading flash or for test purposes.
WLAN_ENABLE=y
#=======USER MIB SETTINGS=============================
# You can add the assignments for various MIB items
# of your choosing to this variable, separated by
# whitespace. The wlan-ng script will then set each one.
# Just uncomment the variable and set the assignments
# the way you want them.
