   Yes - that's normally as easy as:   
      
   # cat /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

   hw_mode=g   
   channel=10   
   beacon_int=100

   wpa=2

   wpa_pairwise=CCMP   
   wps_state=0   
      
   Also, the `head -c12 /dev/urandom | openssl base64` command would give you a   
   really good passphrase.
