# waproamd.conf(5)

waproamd configuration file

## NAME

waproamd.conf - waproamd configuration file

## SYNOPSIS

**/etc/waproamd/waproamd.conf**

## DESCRIPTION

waproamd.conf is the configuration file for waproamd. It is a shell script that is sourced by the init script starting the daemon. It shall be used to set environment variables which are interpreted by the init script:

## OPTIONS

- **INTERFACES**

  Specifies the wireless network interfaces to monitor. It has to contain a space seperated list of network interfaces names. Most users will probably use "wlan0" or "eth0" here, however you may add additional interfaces for monitoring more than one device. A special value is supported as well: "auto" will enable a more or less working automatic detection of available network devices. This won't make you happy when using network module auto loading, since it cannot detect currently unloaded network devices.

- **ARGS**

  Additional command line arguments for waproamd invocation. See **[waproamd(8)](/waproamd/8.md)** for further information.

- **ARGS\_***iface*

  If specified for an interface this variable takes precedence over ARGS. This may be useful if more than one network device is present.
