+Configuring the access point host software (hostapd)
+====================================================
 
+You need to edit the hostapd configuration file, located at /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, to add the various parameters for your wireless network. After initial install, this will be a new/empty file. ::
         
+        sudo touch /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
+        sudo chmod 777 /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
+        
+Add the information below to the configuration file. This configuration assumes we are using channel 7, with a network name of NameOfNetwork, and a password AardvarkBadgerHedgehog. Note that the name and password should not have quotes around them. The passphrase should be between 8 and 64 characters in length.

+To use the 5 GHz band, you can change the operations mode from hw_mode=g to hw_mode=a. Possible values for hw_mode are:
+
+* a = IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz)
+* b = IEEE 802.11b (2.4 GHz)
+* g = IEEE 802.11g (2.4 GHz)
+* ad = IEEE 802.11ad (60 GHz) (Not available on the Raspberry Pi) ::
