To be honest, we tried to make it work using DD-WRT, however we were not able to get it working. The issues are related to the way the device handles the VLANs, and that it just not support dynamic vlan assignment using RADIUS. Since no one was sponsoring the development, we stoped our tests there since we had other tasks to do in priority.

We ended up revamping the inline mode instead. Basically, the AP is a dumb device, puts the people in the inline vlan, and PF is the gateway for that VLAN. It works no problem for kinda large networks. We have one inline deployment that runs with more than 8K nodes on the network. > > If is not possible can you explain why?

If you have such a device, and have time to make some tests, you could definitely contribute to build a module for those devices. Otherwise, the Inline mode is the other option. -- Francois Gaudreault, ing. jr [email protected] :: +1.514.447.4918 (x130) :: www.inverse.ca Inverse inc. :: Leaders behind SOGo (www.sogo.nu) and PacketFence (www.packetfence.org) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
