      4 * Hide your SSID.
      5 * Disable communication between clients (client isolation).
      6 * IEEE 802.11n support
      7 * Internet sharing methods: NATed or Bridged or None (no Internet sharing).

     52 
     53 ### Bridged Internet sharing:
     54     create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
     55 
     56 ### Bridged Internet sharing (pre-configured bridge interface):
     57     create_ap -m bridge wlan0 br0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
     58 
     59 ### Internet sharing from the same WiFi interface:
     60     create_ap wlan0 wlan0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
     61 
     62 ### Choose a different WiFi adapter driver

     64 
     65 ### No passphrase (open network) using pipe:
     66     echo -e "MyAccessPoint" | create_ap wlan0 eth0
     67 
     68 ### WPA + WPA2 passphrase using pipe:
     69     echo -e "MyAccessPoint\nMyPassPhrase" | create_ap wlan0 eth0
     70 
     71 ### Enable IEEE 802.11n
