Access point software?

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I just came into a bunch (40+) of net4526-30's. I have a few 4501's running as routers, and decided that I'd like to setup 1 or 2 of the 4526's as wireless access points. They each have Engenius/Prism 802.11b cards in them. I looked into m0n0wall, which I have running on one of my 4526's, but it will only do wireless as a third interface, and has the web GUI (required to setup wireless) bound to the LAN interface... so it's pretty much useless unless I can manually edit the config files to set an SSID, and then access the config over wireless. I'm really looking for something pre-made, preferably with a web gui (but SSH is fine too). It's just going to be used as an AP on a LAN, so advanced features aren't needed, but I would like some sort of encryption (WEP is fine), as well as (the less easy-to-find) captive portal with RADIUS or LDAP or something like that, possibly MAC filtering, DHCP relay, etc. Any suggestions? I've planned a few projects with these, but would like to get the AP up and running with a minimum of fuss (i.e. making a new AP-centric m0n0wall image isn't what I was hoping for). Thanks for any advice, Jason _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@... http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech |

Jason - will those run the dd-wrt or open-wrt software?

It sounds like you really do want monowall just that you need to make
some specific config changes after the install and before they're suiate for use... specifically in this case once the third interface has been assigned you need to tell it to bridge the wireless and lan interfaces. given the combo of hardware and application needs monowall seems entirely suitable. joelja Jason Antman wrote: > Hi, > > I just came into a bunch (40+) of net4526-30's.

you might look into metrix pyramid linux, though there isint much support out there for it, but its used a lot in metrix kits and various such projects.
