Module netlink.nl80211.ap
Access Point control.
An nl80211 object over the "nl80211" generic
netlink family: create an instance with netlink.nl80211.ap() then start and
stop beaconing on an AP-mode interface; the underlying socket is closed by
close() (or the to-be-closed __close). All methods block and require a
sleepable runtime.
