just a bugfix release.  sorry i haven't had time to work on substantive changes.  most fixes are thanks to wdl

        improved status detection of ips and netmasks (thanks wdl)
        fixed some types (thanks wdl)
        postinst checks for /etc/hosts
        fixed addition of netmask in dhcp_set

Hi. I have installed interface-wrt 0.7 and it's very nice when I need to change some stuff quickly..

But there's 1 simple feature that it lacks.. A feature that was in linksys's default firmware and which is implemented propably in all common gateways in today's market. It's possibility to see "who is on" and I don't mean list of users logged into openwrt wink I mean list of IP's. If I remember filepath correctly, you can find it from /proc/net/arp. I am currently having wide open wlan, no passwords, no crypting, anyone's welcome, as my dvd/music/video player does have wlan but doesn't support any protections very well. And anyway.. It's a nice feature to see if another computer is on..

Also, could be nice if there would be also list of their MAC addresses, and atleast 3com's & zyxel's (ZynOS btw. sucks a big time) routers are able to show machine's host names ( not from /etc/hosts, windows machines seem to tell their name when they try to get ip from dhcp ).. What would U think about this idea?

a small bugfix in the security and status for the WEP encryption. It checks on a value set by stock firmware versions.

Have a look at the file, "/tmp/dhcp.leases", this may be what you are looking for.  It seems easy to parse that into a more "web friendly" format.

Here is the scripts to manage httpd password protection.

Copy httpd and httpd_set to /www/openwrt/management and had the httpd subsection in index.sh

[...]
"management")
                subsection_pages="status services httpd dhcp netfilter misc"
                subsection_names="Status,Services,Httpd,DHCP,Firewall,Misc."
                ;;
[...]

I can provide an add-on package if requested for easyer installation

The discussion might have continued from here.
