I’ve been thinking about the wireless distribution with modifier script on la fonera in these two days , and also after some tests , I didn’t succed in obtainig a correct login to radius servers of Fon. Infact with the script of the last post , the first login to Fon radius server goes pretty well , but if a second client reach the repeated SSID , it bypass the radius authentication. This is why isn’t the client who is authenticated , but the repeater.
To workaround this , I thought to a different mechanism .
You can check it out enlarging this picture.
[This method should ensure a proper login to FON in every node , but has some big flaws.Now I should wait for Fon to send me some foneras to test it out.
As usual discusson is wide open and every suggestion is welcome

nice… but is it possible to do “forwarding dhcp” as well?
have it’s own subnet (roomserviiice 
eg give the repeaters ip’s from 254 downward
and the dhcp a pool for eg the first 200?
Hence looking at this it would indeed be usefull to put on every floor a fonera… and every floor would (although waves aren’t exactly going horizontal
or perhaps put the “repeaters” itself in a seperate vlan and the lan/clients in another vlan so they can’t just use the “repeater” ip to bypass gateway/radius?
just a thought?

Hi Dema, I have tried the above example but it seems to not work, I too had problem with the ponte script I originally found on your blog, authentication by first user on repeater allows anyone else access to the net without autentication.
Main: Linksys wrt54gl running DD-WRT v23
Repeater: Lafonera V1? original FON firmware
p.s the ponte2 script works good too, but alas same authentication problem
