Hi there,

I have exactly the same issue with you.
I have flashed 1.2b8 (tried also the latest 1.2b9) on a soekris 4501 board
and using a linksys wrt54gs as an access point. I am also using alchemy
firmware for WDS reasons too. Unfortunately captive portal authenticates the
IP/MAC of the router.

What I found wierd is that this very setup was working with 1.2b7 m0n0wall
which is based on freebsd 5.3 unlike the 4.8 of 1.2b8 and so on.

Yiannis
