[sweetspot-users] doubts about sweetspot

[Nicolas M. <ns...@gm...>]

Hello. We're a group of telecomunications engineering  students, and we´re
developing our degree proyect which is a hotspot. We just discover the linux
and open source world, and we're amazed on the possibilities that it offers.
We have just discovered your Sweetspot project, it has a lot of features
that we need; but we haven't been able to make it work. Which Linux do you
recommend us to make it run? Which are the required dependencies? Does it
need a gateway like the chillispot needs the dd-wrt? Which is the captive
portal for the authentication? Is it possible to make the sweetspot work
with the php-myprepaid? Can you handle several ip segments (/20, /16)?
Is it possible to create a patch that integrates all of your software's
feature, and use it with the chillispot?
 The hotspot that we have working has php myprepaid with free radius,
chillispot, running on a LAMP server, and as a gateway dd-wrt on the access
point.
One of the characteristics that the panel demands is that any computer can
connect to the wireless network. So that when the person logs in the captive
portal, it  allows them to choose between a public ip, in case it has an
static ip and wants to connect to the campus server through the vpn.

We're really ashamed of our ignorance, but we have been investigating for
several months how to integrate both softwares (chilli and sweetspot)
Thank you for your time!
