Hi again. See.. becouse old PC's don't work with atheros... So what would be the difference between Orinoco or Cisco AP's and old PC's with Mikrotik's solution? All I need is a easy way to controll my users bandwith with authentication and without anything like ppptp vpn tunnels. Everything controlled locally, not on the AP's. I am sorry but I am in a bit of a hurry here. My boss is pushing me like a madman to find a working solution.
