Using CoovaAAA with Hostapd

A sample hostapd.conf configuration file (your interface and driver may be different):

# required settings for Coova.org
auth_server_addr=<Your RADIUS Server IP address, e.g. 208.70.90.95>
auth_server_shared_secret=<Your RADIUS shared secret>

# recommended settings
own_ip_addr=<Put your internet IP address here>
nas_identifier=<Put the MAC address of interface here>

# other settings 
interface=ath1
driver=madwifi
debug=0
eapol_key_index_workaround=1
auth_server_port=1812
radius_acct_interim_interval=240
ieee8021x=1
eap_server=0
auth_algs=1
wpa=1
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
wpa_group_rekey=300
wpa_gmk_rekey=640

The first portion has the settings which you must change to your specific router, network, and account. The rest of the configuration file is standard EAP-based authentication settings.
