mysqlWisp provides a mysqlISP family standalone or mysqlISP controlled subsystem for managing 1 or 100's of hotspots with full iptables/MAC+IP+Login+Passwd controlled access. Easy on the end-user -and the hotspot staff- wide open WAPs are supported. The WAP -or LAN of WAPs- is connected to a 2nd NIC (like eth1 for example, or via a WAP capable card for low cost and very flexible linux WAP/Gateway box.) The model used is the captive portal: "redirect all traffic to hotspot login page -unless logged in" on the WAP/Gateway controlled by a local instance of mysqlWisp. The gateway linux server running mysqlWisp usually will also provide dhcpd, named, and two instances of apache2: One for the webmin and the other the login page. After hotspot user logs in, she then is allowed through the WAP/Gateway, via advanced iptables SNAT, DNAT and REDIRECT rules managed by mysqlWisp. Started adding accounting and QoS control along with mysqlCart provided online credit card processing support.
mysqlWisp Roadmap
Micro mysqlWisp client for embedded AP appliances in the works.
A Linksys WRT54G wireless router version to replace nice but more
community-lan oriented NoCatSplash, is also an option. But would need to look
closer at all the development tools required.
