NAME
athkey - manage encryption type and keys of madwifi devices
SYNOPSIS
athkey [-i device] [-d] keyix cipher keyval [mac]
DESCRIPTION
Each device may have up to four keys; the first argument required is the key index. The "-d" option may be specified to delete the key associated with the selected key index. Otherwise, the other arguments required are a cipher type and a key value encoded as a hexadecimal literal. A MAC address may be given as a final argument; if given, the key will be considered valid only for the specified MAC address.
OPTIONS
- -i device
-
The madwifi device to apply the settings to. If no device is specified, athkey defaults to wifi0.
- -d keyix
-
Delete a specified key index.
- keyix
-
A key index of 1, 2, 3 or 4.
- cipher
-
Cipher type values: [wep|tkip|ocb|ccm|aes|ckip|none]
- keyval
-
A key value encoded as a hexadecimal literal with an optional leading 0x or 0X. Embedded periods, colons and dashes are ignored.
- mac
-
MAC address encoded as an hexadecimal literal. If a MAC address is specified when adding a key value, the key will be valid only for the specified MAC.
EXAMPLES
- athkey -i wifi1 -d 1
-
Remove key value of index 1 for wifi1.
- athkey 1 wep 0123456789
-
Set a wep key of "0123456789" on index 1 on wifi0.
- athkey -i wifi2 2 tkip 0123456789 00:9b:5c:63:e6:b4
-
Set a key of 0123456789 using the tkip cipher for a MAC of 00:9b:5c:63:e6:b4 on index 2 on wifi2.
