+Starting from 0.9.6, etcnet contains another approach
+for handling atheros/madwifi cards, allowing more precise
+control over various operational modes, including master one,
+achieved by separate iface declarations for link/ieee802.11
+and one or more enslaved link/ether (also called VAPs) layers.
+This approach can be selected by TYPE set to `wlan' for enslaved
+link/ether iface(s), other options in this mode could be:
+HOST=<link/ieee802.11 iface name, i.e wifi0>
+MODE=<adhoc|ap|monitor|sta|wds> +
+See also wlanconfig(8) for more detailed discussion.
+
+Setup for bridged AP mode, ready for use with hostapd, follows:
+
+** disallow autocreate link/ether (mandatory)
+# grep ath_pci /etc/modprobe.d/options
+options ath_pci autocreate=none
+#
+
+** link/ieee802.11 iface (optional)
+# cat /etc/net/ifaces/wifi0/options
+TYPE=eth
+#
+
+** link/ether (VAP) iface(s):
+# cat /etc/net/ifaces/wlan/options
+TYPE=wlan
+HOST=wifi0+MODE=ap
