Hotspot or for a wireless ISP? If it's for a hotspot, I have created a package that does authorization and billing via Authorize.net billing gateway. It's a complete package including Mikrotik, SSL, MySQL, Radius and hotspot page configurations, all you do is plug in your Authorize.net account name....

x-posting the answer to this. It will not work if you're using orinoco silver/gold wireless cards (and possibly other hermes chipset based cards. Try using something Prism based.

I found the answer: It just doesn't work with Orinico gold/silver cards (maybe other hermes based cards?). It works fine with all prism chipset based cards. MT is working on this.

No but I have coded our own package to use Authorize.net for credit card and checking account billing. It then inserts everything into MySQL. From there, I have configured Radius to use MySQL for its backend. Contact me if interested... tubbs@wISPdirect.com

You presumptions are fairly rediculous. You have no idea how much traffic is being used with these keys and for how long they'll be active. Keys can't be cracked in 1-2 hours when a very minimal amount of packets are being used. When you have one wep key issued per client, only issued for a certain ...

I just want an answer to my question, you're stating the obvious... why not post a solution instead?

Why doesn't anyone have an aswer to this? Sure someone has used wep with hotspot turned on?!

It seems it has to be a firewall ruleset I'm missing or something. I get an IP via DHCP when I have wep enabled, DNS resolves (I can ping ips/hostnames), but when I try to access any other ports it just hangs. I'm not even seeing a connection to radius when I submit my username/pass from the hotspot...

I didn't even have the web-proxy package installed... any other ideas?

Yea I'm having the same problem... someone please post an answer to this, or more specifically, a solution on how to fix it. Thanks.

I have programmed some automatic billing code for the hotspot login pages and also have it generate a wep key for each MAC that signs up. From there it updates the radio. My problem is that when hotspot is turned on and you try to use wep at the same time, nothing over port 80 works (possibly others...

Let's say we have wep set to optional. Is there any way to have all the users that are not using it routed to 1 specific SSL'd page? Walled garden can't do SSL, yet I did find a thread covering that. I don't know how well hotspot will work if I have wep turned on. Any ideas? I don't want to use hots...
