Re: [Wifiadmin-users] firewall and bridge

[Giorgio D. <gio...@gi...>]

Hello Thimios,

thanks for your answer. You are right, I already know and use Webmin on one 
of my server (which is not a wireless node) but still it lacks a module to 
administer a wireless card, pcmcia or miniPCI and a module to manage a 
bridge. As you know, better than me, a real sysadmin does not need these 
frills and drills but still there is many people who would like things a 
bit easier. Well, I dont want to re-invent the wheel and you are right to 
say that "before wifiadmin there was nothing for a hostap based access 
point doing signal/noise graphs, access list management and associated 
clients listing".
I was just asking if in your mind there are new features in the agenda or 
not. I know that it's very difficult to work on a project as hobbyst for 
free due to lack of time. I appreciate a lot your job. I will follow very 
closed this mailing list.
Cheers

Giorgio
