+#  This script is an attempt to simplify the creation of stations and connections for said stations.
+#  One UDP connection will be created for each station.
+#  The number of stations, station SSID, encryption type and passphrase, number of packets to send, and transmit rates
+#  can all be configured with the below options.
+#  Required values are SSID, radio, and upstream port.
+#  Note: The upstream port will be designated to Endpoint A and station to Endpoint B.
+#  -m   Manager IP or hostname.
+#  -r   Resource number.
+#  -w   Which radio to use i.e. wiphy0 wiphy1 etc.
+#  -n   Number of stations to create.
+#  -s   SSID for stations.
+#  -e   Encryption type: open|wep|wpa|wpa2.
+#  -k   Passphrase for when AP is encrypted.
+#  -a   The upstream port to which station(s) will connect.
+#  -A   Transmit rate from upstream port.
+#  -B   Transmit rate from station.
+#  -p   Number of default UDP sized packets to send.
