+Wireless Interfaces
+-------------------
+.. _interfaces-wireless:
+
+Wireless, for example WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, interfaces allow for connection to
+WiFi networks or act as an access-point.
+If your device is configurable it will appear as `wlan` in `show interfaces`.
+
+To be able to use the wireless interfaces you will first need to set a
+regulatory domain with the country code of your locaion.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system wifi-regulatory-domain SE
+
+An example on how to set it up as an access point:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces wireless wlan0 address '192.168.99.1/24'
+ set interfaces wireless wlan0 type access-point
+ set interfaces wireless wlan0 channel 1
+ set interfaces wireless wlan0 ssid '<your ssid>'
+ set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa mode wpa2
+ set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa cipher CCMP
+ set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa passphrase '<your passphrase>'
+
+Resulting in
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ interfaces {
+ [...]
+ wireless wlan0 {
+ address 192.168.99.1/24
+ channel 1
+ mode g
+ security {
+ wpa {
+ cipher CCMP
+ mode wpa2
+ passphrase "<your passphrase>"
+ }
+ }
+ ssid "<your ssid>"
+ type access-point
+ }
+ }
+ system {
+ [...]
+ wifi-regulatory-domain SE
+ }
+
+To get it to work as a access point with this configuration you will need
+to set up a DHCP server to work with that network.
