All: Our pilot testing of the Wifidog federation is complete. Wifidog is hotspot management software from Ile Sans Fil [ilesansfil.org] that runs on a standard Linksys WRT54G using open source firmware. With Wifidog, we can now have a federation of nodes that have access to a central server for: * real-time monitoring of node status * managed user authentication * splash page and login page hosting * web-based content management (though we haven't quite figured it out yet!) * traffic statistics for each node (user counts, total throughput, and traffic by time of day)
Our federation now looks like this: [http://auth.nycwireless.net/hotspots_map.php] Our goal is to look like this: [http://auth.ilesansfil.org/hotspots_map.php] We want YOU to upgrade to a Wifidog. If you run an NYCwireless hotspot, we want you to switch to a Wifidog unit. If you're planning to put up a New York hotspot, we want you make Wifidog part of your setup. For more info on flashing a Linksys so it can run Wifidog, please see: 1. Our handy checklist [http://nycwireless.net/tiki-index.php?page=WiFiDog] 2. OpenWRT's docs [http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs] 3. Ile Sans Fil's docs [http://www.ilesansfil.org/tiki-index.php?page=Wifidog] We've also set up a forum [http://nycwireless.net/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=10]. __But wait!__ We'll trade you! If you bring us a brand new plain jane Linksys WRT54G or GS, we'll give you back a preconfigured Linksys Wifidog. Write us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you! Congratulations to all who have contributed so far, and to future members and users!
