Mesh+HotSpot+Freeradius Ready

[fofware]

Hi guys
webif-iw-lua-mesh-hotspot-freeradius is a wizar to make easy the basic configuration of radius server, HotSpot with mesh networking or in Ap-Mode

this package depends of :
webif-iw-lua
webif-iw-lua-coovachilli
webif-iw-lua-freeradius
webif-iw-lua-olsr

You can install it alone but when you want configure some of others packages first check if they are installed, if not install what it need.

any way you can install each package by it self and get an easy configuration of each one.

Enjoy...

any news on this? sounds interesting but the thread is rather old!?

Hello ovizii
If you want can install webif-iw-lua-coovachilli and webif-iw-lua-freeradius packages they will install all needed on openwrt Kamikaze 8.09.2

[ovizii]

Will this also work on latest White Russian version?
Not sure if the Kamikaze version will work on my asus wl500g premium V1 - I read the hardware compatibility table and it says: WIP - after a first glance it looks like it would work...

Do these packages also include the tool needed to create different access codes and possibly to print or export them?

also in this thread: http://forum.x-wrt.org/index.php/topic,1189.0.html there are slightly different packages recommended !?

[ovizii]

I can't find these packages: webif-iw-lua-coovachilli and webif-iw-lua-freeradius

all I find are the coova-chilli and freeradius and freeradius2 and other stuff...


which repository do I have to add to find those packages?

[ovizii]

found them in this repository: http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/snapshots/brcm-2.4/packages/ I hope I won't break anything by using those...

###edit###
forgot to mention, I meanwhile switched to Kamikaze

[ovizii]

found these packages:

webif-hotspot
webif-iw-lua-coovachilli
webif-iw-lua-freeradius

and

webif-iw-lua-mesh-hotspot-freeradius

I guess I do not need the last one, will play with the first 3 and report back how it went.

[ovizii]

none of the 3 packages can be installed.

Collected errors:
 * Packages were found, but none compatible with the architectures configured

These are the repositories I have installed:

Current Repositories:
remove  Kamikaze_Snapshots   http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/snapshots/brcm-2.4/packages
remove  snapshots   http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.2/brcm-2.4/packages
remove  X-Wrt   http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/8.09.2/brcm-2.4/packages

and all 3 seem to be using brcm-2.4 so where is the problem?

btw. the router was sold to me as a V1 but I am unsure, it might be a V2 - how can I identy it? unfortunately I can't find a sticker or anything :-(

[ovizii]

ok, figured it out: its a V1 by looooking at the chip.
switched from the brcm-2.4 to the brcm47xx but now the wireles device isn't detected:

No wireless configuration detected. Please make sure you have the correct wireless driver installed for your device.

[ovizii]

I found this proposed solution: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=85976#p85976 but I can't try it out as I am connected via cable to my router and with wireless not working this is my only connection to the router. :-( need to get a second cable tomorrow and try that solution

[ovizii]

ok, here is the deal:

those packages don't exist anymore if I use the kernel version 2.6. The only chance I see is switching back to the 2.4 but then I lack webif integration.

I see two solutions:

a) find some tutorials how to configure freeradius2 and chilli-coova without a webinterface and find a way to issue tickets for customers to use the wifi

b) someone backports the webif interfaces to configure chilli-coova and freeradius to the 2.4 version

Not much hope for any of these solutions :-( so I might go look for another hardware. any suggestions for the solution I ma looking for (hotspot with management on router, no need for external servers)?

Hi ovizii
I will work on any solution next week, so may we have fixed to next other week end
