NoCat is an older software and it is being maintained. It works fine for me, I

Hi guys,
I'm just doing a bit of research as to how to create a wireless hotspot.
Unfortunately during my Cisco CCNA 802.11 LANs weren't covered that
greatly so am having to do a lot on my own.

Many thanks Fahd for the response :-)
Am just on the page now but I don't understand what OpenWRT is.

* OpenWRT is a firmware based on Linux that can run on several
routers, notably the Linksys WRT54GL.
* CoovaChilli is software that runs on Linux, and there are compiled
packages for OpenWRT.
* CoovaAP is a firmware based on OpenWRT with CoovaChilli
pre-installed. There is also a web interface
Many thanks Fahd and Matthew!
So I was correct initially by thinking that CoovaChilli ran on the
Linksys WRT range of routers.
This I guess is great for a pocket installation but not what I'm looking
for hardware wise at least. I believe that the software is probably what

Squid can be made to work (with the session helper), but something
