I was actually talking to Wireless Orbit yesterday, and asked my contact
there, who put me on to very nice developer who explained it to me.
I asked them to post on the list, but in summary, what he said was, in
summary:
Their underlying mechanism is radius, and radius expects to be
able to identify a client via its IP address (and secret key).
They are trying to be vendor agnostic, so they have to keep
pretty close to the public standards.
Direct quote.
"The problem could be solved by just creating multiple IP aliases for
the external interface and running an instance of the hotspot/captive
portal/whatever daemon for each of the aliases. I have no idea whether
or not that's something that's possible on your hardware/in your
firmware ."
Anyways, that my two cents.
