Device — Defines the wireless Ethernet device remotely and
saves to the local NVRAM. Not all options are needed. For
example, you can define Key 1 to have a key of k1 and leave
out Key 2 through Key 4.
NOTE: See also IEEE8021X={yes, no}.
General example:
device=wireless SSID=THINOS
RoamSensitive=low
k1 to k4 are any real values of 5 to 13 characters or 10
to 26 Hex digits. Encrypted keys will overwrite unencrypted
keys. Thus, if both Key1 and Key1 Encare are configured, then
Key1Enc will overwrite Key1.
RoamSensitive — Defines the sensitivity level of wireless
roaming with respect to launching the Roaming daemon:
high - signal lower than -60 dBm
medium - signal lower than -70 dBm
low - signal lower than -80dBm
The RoamSensitive parameter is also used to enable wireless
roaming. If it is not configured in the INI file, roaming will
never be launched even if the signal is lower than -80dbm,
unless it totally loses a wireless signal.
Algorithm — Specifies the authentication method of WEP
between ThinOS and the access point. If set to Open, open
authentication will be selected. If set to ShareKey, shared key
authentication will be selected.
DisableBand — Default is None. Use to disable 2.4G or 5G
802.11 band.
PreferBand —This parameter is used to set the priority of
wireless connection band, and select the 2.4G or 5G access
point to connect. Default is None.
Priority — sets the priority of wireless profiles. The ssid list
is separated by a semicolon or comma and the priority is from
high to low.
DisableN — Default is no. Yes/no option to disable 802.11n
Wi-Fi wireless networking.
DisableWlan— Used to disable the wireless connection. If
DisableWlan=EnetUp, and the Ethernet is on while booting,
the wireless connection is disabled.
