[Soekris] Fact Finding Mission

[RTS]

I am looking at purchasing the net4521 board with NL-2511 Plus EXT2 netcard
and the WISP-dist software.

Our ISP is looking to use this as the main access point for multiple
clients.

Our setup would be something like the following:

The Ethernet port would have a valid IP address back to our switch.
The 2511 card would assign 192.168.xxx.xxx address to our client units.

The clients would use this same hardware setup.
The clients would have their Ethernet port would use 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
addresses for the internal lan.

I didn't find a solid answer to this problem.  Maybe someone is willing to
rehash this issue.

Problem... How do we keep unwanted users off of the wireless??  How do we
authenticate valid clients??  Even if we don't use DHCP, if someone finds
our ip address range we are using they could just use one of those ip's in
their own wireless setup.

We currently have a radius server setup for our normal dial-in users, our
dsl is controlled by assigning and hard coding their firewalls with a valid
ip address.  (no dhcp for this setup)


Thanks for the information and look forwarding to experimenting.
