Recent beta versions of m0n0wall (a FreeBSD-based firewall) have captive portal support. I haven't tried this feature personally, but I'm pretty sure there's RADIUS support. http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/ > My other problem is I am trying to set an > orinoco pcmcia card to ap-mode and it won't work it gives me the > error..."ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (mediaopt): Device not configured" I > have tried many different ways to make this card work and it won't, > I use the command " ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xfffffff0 > ssid my_net channel 11 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap up".
