# This is an example to be used when the wifi interface is not available
# at boot, like a hotplug USB dongle or similar.
# If the device is available at boot, the hostapd.service can setup
# the interface without needing this.
# The hostapd.conf usually specifies bridge=br0 on this kind of setup.
# Remember to set BRIDGE_HOTPLUG=yes at /etc/default/bridge-utils
# In this setup the all would match typical ethernet cards and then
# we specify the wifi we want hotplugged.
# The second stanza of br0 is just for setting up the ipv6 parameters
# we don't specify bridge_ports there, we have specified it in the first
# stanza, but we set it to none to let bridge-utils know it is a bridge.
