I have my monowall working as a AP. Using an engenius miniPCI radio (160 mw), pigtail and antenna all in a Soekris box. I've also had it working with a regular PCMCIA version of the same radio in the same box. Using monowall v1.0. I do have the wireless interface bridged with the LAN. I know others have had problems. Maybe I just got lucky with a good firmware version or just didn't give up soon enough - I am a bit hard headed. :-) John Voigt, President Reston Wireless, LLC High speed internet service no smoke, no mirrors, no wires (tm) http://www.reston-wireless.net/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Warren" <maillist at devilsplayground dot net> To: <m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch> Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 5:38 AM Subject: [m0n0wall] Wireless success stories? > I'm wondering if anyone has successfully set up m0n0wall as a wireless > access point -- If so, what card are you using? -- I spent a few hours > reading list archives to become familiar with m0n0wall in general (and > I'm VERY impressed, by the way), but other then some "go here to figure > out if a card might work" references, I can't find any real wireless > success stories. > > So in short, I'm looking for recommendations. > > One other thought, although I'm not sure if it's a good thought or not: > Since WEP and I don't get along very well, and since m0n0wall seems to > have defeated the common PPTP-can't-access-WAN problem, would it be > relatively secure to set the wireless side as a wide open AP, but > restrict access to the LAN/WAN and require the user to VPN? > > I'm thinking this just might work -- I seem to be able to PPTP from the > LAN side or the WAN side (which is a HUGE help debugging my RADIUS > setup, by the way). > > From the usability side of things, this would be acceptable, we only > use wireless on our laptops, and our laptops are all already capable of > VPNing. > > Am I sleep deprived and off my rocker or is this worth thinking about? > > -- > SCIENTISTS COMPARE APPLES AND ORANGES FOR VITAMIN CONTENT > "It's like comparing apples and oranges," says researcher > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch > For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch > > |
