NoCatSplash in ewrt Portless Networks just released ewrt v0.2b1, an alternative firmware for the Linksys WRT54G. This version includes NoCatSplash and a nice web interface for configuring it.
I'm glad somebody has picked up the code and repackaged it. It currently supports only open mode. With any luck, we'll have a captive portal in a $75 access point by the end of the year.

Their project allows them to gain some practical experience while exploring Wi-Fi as it pertains to them and the people around them. Involving 100 students, this project is one of the largest collective efforts to map Seattle's wireless landscape. WiFiMaps.com is a website which provides interactive maps of Wi-Fi installations, as seen by wardrivers. This collaboration served to create critical mass for the website to provide printable maps, in addition to on-screen maps that exist. Also, this paves the way for other universities and groups interested in orgznizing detailed scans of their city to have a way to actually accomplish this, and have visual results. The files are BitTorrented because of their enormous size (over 100 and 300 MB). [link via Slashdot]... |
