Hi,

I've been struggling with this problem for days. I have a nanostation2 that's got the latest kamakazi build on it. I've updated opkg and installed wifidog. No problems here, I can edit the wifidog.conf file and start the service just fine.

The problem is that it doesn't block traffic!

I do have it working with the nightwatch firmware (openwrt) but I don't want to run that. Looking around, I think I need the nanostation to be a router and use the WAN port???

Does anyone have any experience with this and if so, what on earth do I have to do!?

Thanks,

Katie

Hi, Katie.

Can you show us /etc/config/network and /etc/config/wireless on your NS2?

Thanks for your help!

/etc/config/network

        config 'interface' 'loopback'
        option 'ifname' 'lo'
        option 'proto' 'static'
        option 'ipaddr' '127.0.0.1'
        option 'netmask' '255.0.0.0'

config 'interface' 'lan'
        option 'ifname' 'eth0'
        option 'type' 'bridge'
        option 'proto' 'dhcp'
        option 'defaultroute' '0'
        option 'peerdns' '0'

And /etc/config/wireless]

        config 'wifi-device' 'wifi0'
        option 'type' 'atheros'
        option 'channel' 'auto'
        option 'antenna' 'auto'
        option 'disabled' '0'
        option 'diversity' '0'

Hi,

Thanks very much for the help.

I've tried this but I can't update the opkg repository now because there is something up with the routing I think. Ping to google fails with bad address.

ifconfig:

Apart from that, I've done what you said. One thing I have noticed is that wan is disabled in the webconfig screen and I cannot enable it.

Thanks,

Katie

You are a genius! Turns out it helps if you plug the ethernet cable in

It's all working now. Had to sort a symbolic link out to the /etc/init.d/wifidog in rc.d to make it start on boot but apart from that, I think you might be my most favourite person in the world right now!!

Hi, Katie.

I'm glad to hear that it works.
I'm not a genius but just a openwrt and wifidog user.

I don't know how you made a symbolic link to rc.d, but you can use this command To start wifidog at boot time.
# /etc/init.d/wifidog enable
This makes symbolic link to rc.d.

BTW, I love you, too. ;-)
