``channel`` must be set to a valid wireless channel for your radio.
+ ``beacon_interval`` can be specified to set a custom beacon interval in
+ time units (TU). A time unit is equivalent to 1024 microseconds.
+ If not set, the default value of 100 TU (=102.4 ms) is used.

There are currently two interface types available. You may choose to
configure any subset of them:
