+ <dd>Ethernet tunneling over the UDP transport portion of CAPWAP
+ (RFC 5415). This allows interoperability with certain switches
+ where GRE is not available. Note that only the tunneling component
+ of the protocol is implemented. Due to the non-standard use of
+ CAPWAP, UDP ports 58881 and 58882 are used as the source and
+ destinations ports respectivedly. Each tunnel must be uniquely
+ identified by the combination of <code>remote_ip</code> and
+ <code>local_ip</code>. If two ports are defined that are the same
+ except one includes <code>local_ip</code> and the other does not,
+ the more specific one is matched first. CAPWAP support is not
+ available on all platforms. Currently it is only supported in the
+ Linux kernel module with kernel versions >= 2.6.25. The following
