IMPROVEMENT.
i wasted around 12 hours on wednesday trying to get a little buffalo whr-hp-g54 wireless router running dd-wrt to cooperate with vlan routing between virtual interfaces. obviously, it ended up being a lost cause and bummed me out since i wasted almost a whole day messing with it.
fast forward to thursday: i realized i had an old motherboard and p3 733 in the closet (used to be my fileserver’s platform) and i had a spare enclosure (also from the fileserver) and a bunch of spare memory and nics. i bought a cheap antec earthwatts psu, got it friday. put 3 NICs (1 broadcom 570x and 2 3com 3c905s) in the machine, loaded pfsense 1.2 (which i used to use on an old k6-2 500 a couple years ago), fired it up and got the whole wireless thing working in 15 mins after booting. fucking retarded.
today, i decided i wanted to do more crap with my network, so i configured freeradius with EAP-TLS and enabled WPA2-enterprise on my primary wlan. mmmm…certificates… now, i just need to think of something else to do..
