Re: Public WiFi Access Authentication

"Ile sans Fil" use WifiDog on linksys wrt54g (with openwrt) and on a
central authentication server (with debian).

I'm not sure if you can integrated the captive portal + the
authentication server directly into a router with Wifidog.

If you plan to install more hotspot in the future, you should consider
a central server for authentication, management and statistic.
