I think we would be happy to contribute a wiki page on the coova site about
this if you could help me a bit more.

If I understand you correctly, I can start chilli with the
--locationcopycalled option.  This will tell chilli to copy the mac address
of the AP sent to chilli by the Radius MAC Authentication method into the
calledstationid of the radius server I have set for HS_RADIUS.

Is that about right?  From what you have said, it does not sound like I
need to be running CoovaRADIUS for this to work.

Thanks David,

Chris
