Topic: CoovaChilli macauth

[johnp]

I want to say thanks Daniel for adding support for macauth in Coova Chilli. I'm testing it out now as I type. I had previously modified the guest button to set the user name as the passed mac but this is so much better.

Thanks johnp. In fact, I wanted to use it for some devices since a long time, but it was broken in the two latest versions of coovachilli. This weekend I found a one line patch which correct this. So in order to make it working, you just have to update to coova-chilli-1.0.13-2.i386.el4.sme.rpm, and add the small template as explained in the wiki page.

Cheers, Daniel

I had tried several weeks back to test if the macauth feature was functional. Ended up doing the webpage code hack so the friends and familly wouldn't slap me down.

Got to get some of those wifi toys now.
