WiFi-Hotspot easy way

about an easy way to get a hotspot solution:

chillispot on AP (look at [link])
freeradius and billing (look at [link])

With a centralized system as phpmyprepaid you can control all the
access through the AP with captive portal on board

and freeradius with mysql and billing at phpmyprepaid on sourceforge

You could also have a look at WiFiGator ([link]). I
see they have their own OpenMesh dashboard now.

Just a note that:
a) The only way to try wispinabox out at the moment is to setup the
development environment on your own machine and build an install CD
from scratch.
b) The wispinabox CD currently consists only of the base LAMP
configuration required for the other applications.
Most of the work so far has been on digging&laying foundations so

Hi Wonder,

A few of us started with the "WISP-in-a-Box" development with support
from IDRC. Please try [link] and let us
know how close or far it is from what you're looking for.

HotSpot

Is there any one from this community who knows if there is any
development for a box (all in one) containing applications like,
Chillispot, FreeRadius, MyBilling, MYSQL.

I know Linksys GL you can customise, I am looking at something that
can be run on a normal PC

[wireless-africa] close the list?

ziehise...@gmail.com (SergeZIEHI) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:10:50 UT

Hi all

I agree with the idea that having many mail list on exactly the same
subject and under the same project platform and context is not good idea.

But from my opinion just closing a list that has been opened for so long
time may not be a good idea too.

The middle option should be to try a kind of gathering of the too

Re: [wireless-africa] Re: close the list?

kobus.r...@gmail.com (Kobus Roux) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:19:04 UT

Hi,

I wish for the list to be kept open. I don't see it hurting anyone and it
may come in handy again in future. I'm willing to take over the
adminstration of the list and filtering of spam.

Kind regards,
Kobus

Hi,

I see no needs to keep it alive.
Wireless Africa project has its own list, which is not more active than this
one, by the way.

best regards
Adel

ok, Google Groups has an option for archiving mailing lists which
means they will be searchable but you won't be able to send a message
to them. I'm archiving this list as of today. If anyone would like
to re-activate in the future, feel free to get in touch

anrie...@apc.org (Anriette Esterhuysen) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:45:35 UT

Yes. Good idea. In any case that APC-wireless are still active and still
being used on occasion. We will keep them going for the foreseeable
future.

Are there new lists that were set up by the IDRC follow up project being
managed by the CSIR/Meraka?

Cheers

I third it. Everything comes and goes. It's time for this list to go.

edwin.mule...@gmail.com (Edwin Mulenga) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:20:42 UT

I would second that we close this down. The reason being that with
lots of wireless activities taking place within Africa it is
surprising to have a mailing list about wireless techs and yet with no
posting. I would encourage pple that we move on to the village telco.

Thanks,

Ed.

close the list?

stephen.s...@gmail.com (Steve Song) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:00:42 UT

Hi all,

It has been a few months since there has been a posting to this list.
Can I suggest we close it down? The reason being is I get enough spam
every week on this list that has to be individually moderated to make
keeping a list with no traffic a bit of a pain. There is plenty of
activity on the village telco list ([link]
