athkey8
Manage encryption type and keys of madwifi devices
Usage
athkey [-i
device]
[-d]
keyix
cipher
keyval
[mac]
Overview
Each device may have up to four keys; the first argument required is the key index. The "-d" option may be specified to delete the key associated with the selected key index. Otherwise, the other arguments required are a cipher type and a key value encoded as a hexadecimal literal. A MAC address may be given as a final argument; if given, the key will be considered valid only for the specified MAC address.
Options
-
-i device -
The madwifi device to apply the settings to. If no device is specified,
athkeydefaults to wifi0.
-
-d keyix -
Delete a specified key index.
keyix-
A key index of 1, 2, 3 or 4.
cipher-

keyval-
A key value encoded as a hexadecimal literal with an optional leading 0x or 0X. Embedded periods, colons and dashes are ignored.
mac-
MAC address encoded as an hexadecimal literal. If a MAC address is specified when adding a key value, the key will be valid only for the specified MAC.
Examples
- athkey -i wifi1 -d 1
-
Remove key value of index 1 for wifi1.
- athkey 1 wep 0123456789
-
Set a wep key of "0123456789" on index 1 on wifi0.
- athkey -i wifi2 2 tkip 0123456789 00:9b:5c:63:e6:b4
-
Set a key of 0123456789 using the tkip cipher for a MAC of 00:9b:5c:63:e6:b4 on index 2 on wifi2.
