But we use it for all all wireless access at the University of Waterloo. It also supports this thing I wrote called the "Toilet Tank Traffic Shaper" http://www.freebsd.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/bin/view/Freebsd/ToiletTankTrafficShaper which is handy to keep the dvd downloaders in check. Installation of the NAA is not yet at the "make; make install" stage. Rather "do all these steps, think, do some more, test, hmm, fix this, call the developer, ok it's almost working now". So, you are welcome to contact me if you try the NAA, and get stuck. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: WIFI access software Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2005 21:00:54 -0800 From: Jeff Seeman To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org I have a client who has 3 restaurants and wants to provide wifi access to the customers. He wants to be able to control who and when it can be accessed. He is not planning on charging for the access at the moment but certainly would like that ability. I want to use freebsd, but can not find a software pkg that will allow me to do this. Does anyone have an idea or better yet implemented something like this?
