Jul 05 06:25:59 <blathijs> PleXT: I'm not sure I understand what you're saying there?
Jul 05 06:26:12 <blathijs> PleXT: Do you have a Fonera Access Point?
Jul 05 10:39:51 <PleXT> blathijs, no thats the point.. I want to use my own Cisco Aironet AP as FON or isn't that possible? And install the software on Virtual machine on my Vmware server and place it in different VLAN then my own network
Jul 05 10:41:01 <PleXT> To me FON seems like a kind of proxy server with webportal.. I can configure hotspots in the Cisco Aironet and add SSID based on VLAN
Jul 05 10:57:22 <blathijs> PleXT: Right, I don't think Fon offers a software-only solution right now
Jul 05 10:57:39 <blathijs> There has been a custom firmware for some linksys routers, but that's no longer supported
Jul 05 10:58:22 <PleXT> blathijs, hmm why not ? because of security reasons?
Jul 05 10:58:54 <blathijs> PleXT: Technically, you could try to get chillispot from the 2.0n/g firmware running on your device, but I'm not sure if that'll work
Jul 05 10:59:36 <blathijs> PleXT: Probably because of the extra complexity of running on all kinds of different hardware, combined with the marketing reasons (better to sell hardware than to give away software, I guess)
Jul 05 11:11:52 <PleXT> blathijs, chillispot is just opensource AP software?
Jul 05 11:19:07 <blathijs> Yup
Jul 05 11:19:47 <blathijs> In theory, it should even work with the upstream version of chillispot, but you might want to check the version on trac.fonosfera.org for the right config
Jul 05 11:41:35 <PleXT> blathijs, there is a openwrt version ? do that not work?
Jul 05 11:43:58 <blathijs> I guess it could work
Jul 05 11:44:14 <blathijs> It's probably a newer version of chillispot, but that shouldn't be a problem per se
Jul 05 11:44:31 <PleXT> damn
Jul 05 11:44:35 <PleXT> its mipsel :/
Jul 05 11:44:49 <blathijs> What's your Cisco?
Jul 05 11:45:22 <blathijs> OpenWRT has packages for a lot of archs (and the 2.0n runs on mipsel, the 2.0g on mips0
Jul 05 11:54:52 <PleXT> blathijs, don't known
Jul 05 11:54:58 <PleXT> I think its PowerPC cpu it has
Jul 05 11:55:25 <PleXT> its enterprise hardware... hard to get even original fw
Jul 05 11:55:36 <PleXT> don't known if openwrt has support for that kind of hw :)
Jul 05 11:55:47 <PleXT> pretty expensive hw to if you want to buy it new
Jul 05 12:06:10 <PleXT> maybe better to buy a fon AP :)
