rts_threshold=threshold
The number of bytes used for the RTS/CTS handshake boundary. The
range is 0 through 3000. The default is 1600.
ssid=id string
The desired Set Service Identifier (SSID) for the wireless device. The
SSID is an ASCII printable character string ranging from 1 through 32
bytes in length (excludes the backslash character “\”). Specifying ssid=””
causes the "ssid" option to be cleared and "auto_ssid" to be set to "on,"
unless "auto_ssid" is also specified in the same "set wlan" command.
Specifying any string other than “” causes "auto_ssid" to be set to "off,"
unless "auto_ssid" is also specified in the same "set wlan" command. Not
used by the wlan device if "auto_ssid=on." The default is “digi."
username=string
Used when the "encryption_mode" option is set to "wpa_auth." This
option specifies the user name to be used during authentication.
password=string
Used when the "encryption_mode" option is set to "wpa_auth." This
option specifies the password to be used during authentication.
