Re: [PacketFence-users] PacketFence Setup on New Ruckus vSZ (Virtual Smart Zone) controller
Thanks Diego, I have introduced you to him via email and he should get back to you as soon as he can as its nearly 10pm UK time. And yes that fine, whenever you can and at your leisure. This isn't mission critical but is part of a greater project and technical direction we are taking.. but most of all we just need a nudge in the right direction. Cheers Again.

Hi oliver there are multiple, very different integration options with ruckus and packetfence. While indeed, some of the documentation is quite old, it should still be usable.
