Oops! : )

I have submitted bug# 0001229 ... but I accidentally set the severity to block 
I realized it just as I submitted it, sorry!  I still haven't fully recovered 
from pulling an all-nighter last night, my apologies.

Again (as always) Inverse rocks! Thanks Olivier.

We already released that version? I thought we were at 2.2.1 ;)

Good catch!

Yes, NAS-Port to ifIndex translation (ports stored are actually
ifIndexes) is a responsability of the network device module (AP in your case). 
So what I'll do is set ifIndex to 1 if NAS-Port doesn't exist.

I'll also update my developer's guide to validate the fact that NAS-Port is 
populated properly on both open and secured SSIDs when supporting new devices 
and implement the workaround if required.

Please file a ticket in our issue tracker (packetfence.org/bugs) and I'll make 
you a patch to test out, once confirmed it'll go in the 2.x stable branch.

Thanks!
