AIRSERV-NG(8)

💖 AIRSERV-NG 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the System Manager's Manual — section 8, the big-kid system administration section, and it's all about airserv-ng. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

airserv-ng — a wireless card server 🌈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

airserv-ng <options>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, airserv-ng is a wireless card server, and it's genuinely iconic. what it does is let multiple wireless application programs all use one single wireless card, independently, through a client-server TCP network connection. no fighting over the card, no drama 💅

the way it works is that literally all the operating system specific code and all the wireless card driver specific code gets baked right into the server. so every wireless application out there doesn't have to carry around the messy, complex wireless card and driver logic itself. the server handles that. it's giving "I'll handle it, you just vibe."

and the best part? it also supports multiple operating systems. periodt. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h — shows you the help screen. the "bestie I'm lost" button, but make it official 🥰
• -p <port> — the TCP port to listen on. by default it's 666 🔥
• -d <iface> — the wifi interface you wanna use.
• -c <chan> — locks the interface to this channel. commitment issues? not here. 🔒
• -v <level> — debug level, and there are 3 of them. here's the tea:
  • Debug level 1 — shows client connection and disconnection. this is the default ✨
  • Debug level 2 — shows channel change requests and invalid client command requests, on top of everything from level 1.
  • Debug level 3 — displays a message every single time a packet is sent to the client (and its length too, she's thorough 💅). it also includes the messages from level 2 (and therefore level 1).
