Hotspots in WAR Boards

[sligbot]

We're working on switching all of our WRAPs over to WARs currently. We're also working on building hotspots for campgrounds in the area. We noticed that the WARs don't have the hotspot feature in it and thus we've decided to re-use the WRAPs that we are taking out as hotspot controllers. However, we'd love to use WARs instead and thus this post. Are there plans for hotspot support on WARs down the road or would it be better to buy up more WRAPs and deploy that way?
Thanks,
Rich

There are plans on implementing a new hotspot system for the V3 platform in the future.

I'm in the barrell again.
I have several towns and vilages that I have to light up "yesterday".
The word is spreading, the funds are becomming available and the orders are piling in.
-----------
There is no way I want to use WRAP boards when I can use WAR's with mesh for these projects.
--------
I am ready to place orders and I figured by the time the projects came due the HS would be ready.
----------
I figured wrong again I guess.
This is a serious problem for me.
Is there any relief in sight....???

Please tell me it is just around the corner Please.!
I am begging!!!

I wish I could help you. We have been spending our time on the x86 V3 and thus no progress has been made on the platform in general. V3 is just about ready, but that does not help you a bit.

The way to do it, on a temporary basis is to continue to deploy WAR boards for the meshing and install the WRAP boards that you have been replacing at the edge for the HotSpot.

Hotspot support for v3 is scheduled for inclusion, however I cannot provide any ETA guesstimates at this time.

When you get closer to working on the hotspot for v3 it would be great to start a thread about features. There are a couple of small changes that would make it much more flexible. For instance being able to capture someone, but auth them against a cgi process i.e. a get request to an ssl enabled server with parameters like user name, password, mac address, identifier for the hotspot, etc.

Ok so whining, begging and pleading didn't work;)
I guess I'll just have to go to plan "B".
Adding the external WRAP AP's.

Thanks for the prompt replies.
I know you feel my pain:)

I can accept some discussion.

I was wondering on the status for the hotspot for the war board or sometype of raduis base authinication?? We are wanting to change our wrap to the war`s but cannot till we get somekind of authenication with bandwidth throttling..

It is work in progress that will be done in November.
