Yep.

Great! At this point the patch is in CVS.

Okay, so for my own clarification what you're describing here is two
problems:
1) Only users plugged into the LAN ports are getting sent to the NoCat
Splash page.
2) Once those LAN users have authenticated (clicked "I accept"), they
cannot pass any traffic to the internet
I have seen a report of problem #1, but nobody has supplied us with
enough data to begin to troubleshoot it. So can you start off with the
following:
1) WRT54G hardware version
2) have you tried resetting to "factory defaults" recently?
3) full nvram output (obviously hide your password) - "nvram show"
4) iptables dump with no users authenticated, and then after one has
auth'ed "iptables -v -nL"
5) What's happening to WLAN users? Do they associate? Do they get
DHCP leases? can they ping their default gateway? can they ping their
default gateway with large packets?
6) Do the DNS addresses given out by DHCP match the DNS addresses in
the nocat.conf
7) The output of /tmp/services.out with verbosity = 10. annotate it
with where you tried certain things
As far as problem #2 goes, how do you know your PPPoE setup is working
at all? Can users get to the internet without NoCat running?
I just committed a patch (thanks to Tom Goetz) that should unbreak
MSS/PMTU issues for PPPoE users. It is for CVS users only for now.

If you're interested in participating in Ewrt development then please
get on CVS. Otherwise don't, we have to actually pay for the huge
amount of bandwidth that CVS can consume.
good luck,
