interfaces using the following command:
ifconfig –a
You can check whether the Access Point has been started successfully or not, by running the following command:
iwconfig wifi1
The sample output of this command is
wifi1 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"test" Nickname:""
Mode:Master Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: 88:DA:1A:16:E5:5D
Bit Rate:6 Mb/s Tx-Power=30 dBm Sensitivity=1/0
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=80/80 Noise level:0 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

This command gives the status of the device. It displays the Access Point's SSID along with the MAC address and channel
frequency. If the Access Point does not start, a message saying "Exiting: Driver Initialization not completed even after
waiting for xxms" is displayed.
To start a DHCP server, use the commands below.
sh dhcp_server.sh wifi1
Note: If DHCP server is not present , we can also assign IP statically by using following command. Also it should be noted
that dhclient at connected clients will not work as dhcp server is not started at AP. We should assign IP statically at client
side also.
ifconfig <interface> <IP>
Example : ifconfig wifi1 192.168.2.1
