Re: [Wifiadmin-users] firewall and bridge

[Thimios D. <dim...@ce...>]

Hello Giorgio

Thanks for praising our little project. When we started wifiadmin, we had the 
access point node in mind. There are many, and in some cases better coded, 
web interfaces for things like firewall management and even general system 
administration (check out webmin), but, to my knowledge, before wifiadmin,  
there was nothing for a hostap based access point doing signal/noise graphs, 
access list management and associated clients listing. And of course there is 
m0n0wall, which is a whole bsd distribution, and not just a web interface 
suitable for any linux distribution.

Both me and Thanos haven't touched the code for quite a long time, mainly due 
to lack of time. If you or anyone else is interested in breathing some fresh 
air, even by changing the initial purpose of the project a bit, you are most 
welcomed.
