+# MiracleCast - Wifi-Display/Miracast Implementation
+# Copyright (c) 2013-2014 David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com>
+#
+
+#
+# This is an example configuration for wpa_supplicant to work with miracled. You
+# can modify it to your needs and then run wpa_supplicant *as root* on it. If
+# you want to run it in foreground for debugging, you might wanna use:
+#   ./wpa_supplicant -dd -iwlan0 -Dnl80211 -c wpa.conf
+#
+# wpa_supplicant is *not* spawned by miracled, you need to do that yourself and
+# afterwards add the device as wifi-link to miracled via:
+#   ./miraclectl add-link wifi:wlan0
+#
+# For debugging you usually want to connect a wpa_cli interface so you can
+# follow the events and interact with wpas:
+#   ./wpa_cli -iwlan0
+#
+
+# Directory where control-interface sockets are stored. Must not be changed!
+ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
+
+# Allow manual AP scans
+ap_scan=1
+
+# Set default device-name. Overwritten by miracled with current hostname. If
+# you want to change it, use "./miraclectl set-link-name <link> <name>"
+device_name=my-device
+
+# Device type for desktop systems. Usually better left untouched..
+device_type=1-0050F204-1
+
+# Supported config-methods:
+#     pbc: Supports Push-Button-Configuration
+# display: Can display PINs
+#   label: Has hard-coded label which can be used as PIN
+#  keypad: Has keyboard for dynamic PIN input
+#
+# Usually PBC is the preferred method for short-lived ad-hoc connections like
+# Miracast as it doesn't require any PIN input on either side. Unfortunately,
+# not all devices support it so you might wanna fall back to "display" and
+# "keypad".
+# Note that wpas supports multiple options separated by spaces. But my remote
+# devices tend to choose "keypad" then, which is annoying for testing so I just
+# list pbc here as default.
