A howto for DD-WRT, Chillispot and FreeRadius.
********Warning ********
Following these instructions will invalidate your Linksys warranty. You do
so at your own risk. These instructions assume that you have an
understanding of Linux, PHP MySQL and Apache. If you brick your AP you
might get it back by holding down the reset pin for 20 seconds, unplug the
power while still holding down the reset button for another 20 seconds and
then plugging the power back in while still keeping the reset button held
in for a further 20 seconds. This should bring it back to the defaults of
whatever firmware you have installed. You should be able to login to
192.168.1.1
*******End of Warning********
Feel free to copy or use this information in any way you like'
What you will need:-
a) DD-WRT
Download the latest version here
brainslayer.braincontrol.org/dd-wrt.v22.zip
b) FreeRadius
Download the latest version here ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/radius/old/freeradius.1.0.3.ta
r.gz
c) phpMyPrepaid
Download the latest version here
jabali.net/~carl/phpMyPrepaid.0.1.3RC2.tar
also download the radiusd.conf file from jabali.net/~carl/
d) Linsys WRT54G AP
e) You will also need PHP, Apache, MySQL amd MySql Delopment Modules,(These
need to be setup first.) some patience, plenty of beer and cigarettes.
Step 1 DD-WRT/Chillispot Configuration
Configure the WRT-54G with the standard Linksys software and the use the
upgrade firmware module to install the dd-wrt package on the AP.
*******IMPORTANT******* Use your cable connection to do the upgrade. NOT
the wireless connection
Reboot the AP and login to your new firmare.
Set Dynamic configuration DHCP
Disable DHCP (Chillispot will manage DHCP for your clients.)
Change the Local IP of the AP to 192.168.10.1.
Set your gateway and DNS addresses.
Update changes and log back in to the new IP address.
Go to the administration page.
Enable Chillispot
Enter the IP address of your Radius server
Enter the DNS
Enter the redirect URL eg HTTPS://123.123.123.123/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi/ (MAke
sure that the address ends in / and is https.)
Enter a shared key. (This can be anything you like, but keep a note of it
you will need it later.)
Set DHCP Interface to Lan+Wlan
Enter a NAS id (Your name for your AP)
Enter a UAM secret (This is the password that Chilli will use to talk to
hotspotlogin.cgi)
Save your settings and reboot the AP. Please give the AP about 10 minutes
to reboot and initialise all the new services.
Step 2 FreeRadius Configuration.
Untar the FreeRadius tar file and enter its directory.
Type ./configure --with-experimental-modules
make
login as root and type make install
When this is finished copy the radiusd.conf file that you downloaded
earlier to /usr/local/etc/raddb/
You should not need to edit radiusd.conf
Edit /usr/local/etc/raddb/sql.conf and in the SQL section make these
changes
Quote:
# Database type
# Current supported are: rlm_sql_mysql, rlm_sql_postgresql,
# rlm_sql_iodbc, rlm_sql_oracle, rlm_sql_unixodbc, rlm_sql_freetds
driver = rlm_sql_mysql
# Connect info
server = localhost
login = yourlogin
password = your password
# Database table configuration
radius_db = radius
Edit the /usr/local/etc/raddb/clients.conf file and enter the details of
your NAS (AP)
Quote:
client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx { (This is the address of your NAS or WRT54G )
secret = xxxxxxx (The secret you entered in the Chilli Config)
shortname = private-network-9 (This can be any name)
nastype = other
( If you want to set up several AP's with one secret the IP address above
should be 0.0.0.0/0 )
}
Step 3 hotspotlogin.cgi
Copy hotspotlogin.cgi from chillispot.org to /var/ cgi-bin
Edit the file and change the secret to the UAM secret that you entered in
the Chillispot configuration on the WRT54G
Step 4 phpMyPrepaid and MySQL
Extract the phpMyPrepaid file to a directory on your webserver eg /var/
html/myprepaid
Create a MySQL database called radius and create a user and password for
it. Use a script called db_mysql.db that you will find in the phpMyPrepaid
download to create the database tables.
Edit the dbconnect.php file in the phpMyPrepaid directory and enter the
username and password for your MySQL radius database. IMPORTANT Save this
file behind your web directory or your passwords will be easy to hack.
Edit config.inc.php and change the line that points to dbconnect to
wherever you have saved dbconnect.php
In your web browser got to yoursite /whereveryouputphpmyprepaid/ and
create some tickets. Check your database to see if the users have been
setup in radcheck. Launch FreeRadius as root with this command radiusd
-xxyx -l stdout. Pick a user and password from your database and try to
login from a wireless client. If you can then it is time for step 5. If not
go back to step 1 and check everything.
Step 5 Have a cup of coffee and unwind. If all is well you have finished.
I'll keep an eye on this post and do my best to help anyone with
problems.
Regards and good luck.

I have setup a free test Radius system and a very easy way to configure a
Linksys AP on my server. The link is swarmhotspots /chilli-test-area

Hi Jovenaso'
Yes it is legal to charge for hotspot services. If you don't have a Linux
server you can still configure the Linsys AP and put in the settings posted
here swarmhotspots /Chilli-Test-Area/ This will allow you to use our
Radius server for testing. When you are satisfied that everything is
working ok you can either continue to use our service or find a Radius
server that runs on Windows. There are several available. You will also
need a Web server like Apache and a static IP address.
Regards and good luck,
Sean
