Dear all,

Could anybody give me some recommended open source software for wifi management?

What I am looking for is a simple and basic tools, for example the software will have these kind of features :

• user connect to the wifi network
• user got IP from DHCP but he can't browse to anywhere at first. Instead he will redirected to a "login page"
• administrator will set the username and password (e.g : user1, password ; user2, password2)
• if needed, the username will be enabled and be given to the user
• if unused, the username will simply be disabled so no authenticated user could connect eventhough they remember the password.
• I don't need the billing system just the administration tools.

I already googled and found chillispot, but it seemed to be an overkill software. Are there anything simpler than chillispot?

I don't know if it is still being supported or if there are better alternatives, but nocat.net used to have something like this.
