6.4.3 WLAN
The easiest way to establish a internet connection via the WLAN interface is to activate and configure the
network daemon.
Network daemon configuration file (see "Network daemon" on page 100)
The TC1 WLAN module allows two modes:
 Managed-Mode
 Access-Point-Mode (AP mode)
The managed mode can be started by wpa_supplican and wpa_cli, the access-point mode can be started by
hostapd.
Which one is started depends on the selected mode within the /etc/init.d/rc.conf configuration file.
