Cool David, thanks!

Will start to try it soon.

Meanwhile I would like to continue something from the chillispot  
mailing list:

Hi,

I ran into the same problem (see below).
While one client was having this problem there were other clients  
connected to this WRT at the same time using chilli having no such  
problems at all. Doing more analysis I found that the client was  
really sometimes not associated with the WRT. Seems that some clients  
disassociate for unknown reason even when they shouldn't. This client  
was probably only 5m away from the WRT. And when they re-associate  
they have to re-login - which would (in my case) not the big issue -  
the bigger issue is that because of the new IP address certain web- 
apps (gmail etc) get interrupted.

DHCP lease time is not set (=chilli standard is used). I currently  
run Coova-chilli SVN 70. The question I have:  does chilli detect  
when a client is not connected anymore using another method than the  
DHCP lease time? Because e.g. in the 3rd paragraph you can see that  
chilli released the IP only after 6 minutes (and chilli uses 10  
minutes as default I think). Is there a way to tell chilli to be more  
tolerant; i.e. to wait a little if a client will get associated again  
before releasing a DHCP address?

thanks,
lc
