[nycwireless] old PCs/APs needed for captive portal projects

2004-10-27 Thread Anthony Townsend
hi all - i have a couple of students who are building interesting captive 
portal projects at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Project. 

to keep development costs down, i thought i'd reach out to see if anybody on 
the list has old PCs or wireless APs that we can use for these projects. 

pretty much anything 486/Pentium and 802.11b will do 

thanks in advance. if have anything to donate, please bring it to the 
meeting tonight

Anthony - have you looked at using wifidog for this? 
With openwrt it makes a really low cost hotspot.

We're still working out some stability issues, but it
runs on all of our 9 hotspots now (the X's indicate
hotspots that haven't been deployed yet).

This is the the central auth server:
http://auth2.ilesansfil.org/

(as you can see under list network nodes, it gives
you the ability to give a captive portal to each
hotspot seperately.

And if you don't want people to have to log in, we
hacked another version of the auth server that doesn't
require username/password.
