Support for arbitrary `hostapd` parameters

[Vafa-Andalibi]

I tried to add other hostapd parameters that are for specifying the authentication server, e.g. auth_server_addr, but the docker-ap raised warning that they are not recognized. Then I went through the docker-ap file and noticed that it reads the parameters one by one from the wlan_config.txt and inputs them in the hostapd.conf and there are only handful of parameters considered in it. Three questions:

• Is there any way to add arbitrary hostapd parameters other than SSID, passphrase, hw_mode and channel?
• Is there any specific reason behind parsing the parameters from wlan_config.txt? Why not just copy paste the file into /etc/hostapd/ inside the container?
• Do you accept PR if you are ok with this approach? I can implement this in a way to replace the parsing or as a separate feature.

Thanks,

Hi @Vafa-Andalibi,

When I made the script it was enough for me to implement it the way it is now, but indeed you are right and your approach is the way it should be (getting rid of the parsing), so any PR will be welcome! :)

Thanks in advance.
