Yeah.. though, the typical use will likely be that APs are VLAN'ed and
bridged into a trunked network. You can then have a single chilli
instance running and servicing all these APs. The VLAN id will be sent
to the captive portal and to the RADIUS server.

Interesting... I'd do the 'pause' differently, I think. You'd probably
want to use the chilli_query and an option to stop (stop processing all
sockets in the main chilli loop _except_ processing the cmdsock
socket).
