Re: Increase number of available ip-addresses

Thanks.
quoting: Also, when you get a few hundred wireless users on one flat 
network, live will suck for most of them.

I can imagine that, nevertheless, it is wanted to have the possibility 
of having a few hundred wireless users....

quoting: You could run multiple firewalls... (Or multiple interfaces, 
but captive portal can only run on one of them.)

no chance for that...

best regards...
