What client operating system did you test with? We see more and more problems with windows 7 where we didn't have issues before. We are thinking about increasing the default timer (redirtimer) to 60s+ but we are unsure if we should do so. Usually on wired it should work fine though. We would need to investigate. This is certainly not 'by design'. > > 2) I see that I'm supposed to have 10 minutes to complete the registration. > But packetfence never bothers to cut the vlan back to registration (or > isolation).

We had a wiki before and we were the only ones contributing to it (aside from spammers). We were moderating spam more than getting/giving value out of it. We might try a wiki again in the future but it's not in the short term list. The configuration by example section of the guide covers exactly what you need to install PacketFence. We follow that documentation ourselves when we install PF to test before major releases. Let us know of anything rough in that section so we can fix it. Also, the documentation is in ODT (openoffice/libreoffice format) feel free to make additions or corrections yourself and send us the updated version. We will definitely appreciate any contribution to it! Lastly we are thinking about doing a web-based first configuration wizard that would go through the complex install and configuration process but we have to pay the bills so we are doing consulting / customer sponsored features and hardware support instead. Anyone willing to contribute (time or money) to make the conf wizard happen is more than welcome!
