\subparagraph{\texttt{disable\_<driver>}}
|

|
|

This function will bring down the wifi device and all its virtual interfaces (if supported).

|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
\begin{Verbatim}
|
||||||
|
disable_dummy() {

local device="$1"
|

|
|

# bring down virtual interfaces belonging to

\subparagraph{\texttt{detect\_<driver>}}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This function looks for interfaces that are usable with the driver. Template config sections
|
||||||
|
for new devices should be written to stdout. Must check for already existing config sections
|
||||||
|
belonging to the interfaces before creating new templates.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
\begin{Verbatim}
|
||||||
|
detect_dummy() {
|
||||||
|
[ wifi-device = "$(config_get dummydev type)" ] && return 0
|
||||||
|
cat <<EOF
|
||||||
|
config wifi-device dummydev
