Sometimes, there is so few activities here that it seem that authpuppy's dead. His father wifidog is almost dead but not totally.

I installed Openwrt on one of my router. It worked fine and i really don't know what distro i took, this time it was just for a test with a cheap router a TP-Link 741ND ver. 2.5 with this firmware : openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr741nd-v2-squashfs-factory.bin and i do not know wich "backfire" (an openwrt serious expression) it is related to, but it seem to be the last one 10.03.1 created at the end of December 2011.

Now i have my router running. But as it is for DD-WRT there is no official documents about installing a router based on OpenWRT with a specific tool related to wifidog and there's nothing about authpuppy. In my point of view, it is good to have an authentication server but if there no "gas" to run it (even if there is router's image made for it) it remain a server who does nothing. Anyway.

I found some links about wifidog one where a geek make it complicated for nothing creating a dual boot router with dual wifidog daemons. I think that the guy lost itself in his own explanation that we can see here :

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=24926 (Just reading it and it is like )

I found this url :

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/wireless.hotspot.wifidog

Having ??? signs in the wifidog configuration of the router :

opkg install wifidog
vi /etc/???
. /etc/init.d/??? enable
. /etc/init.d/??? start
netstat -a

and i can see if this package can be run in my backfire 10.0.03.1 firmware.

Is there's some other ways to installed a running and working router with authpuppy without having to take an image of an existing running router ? (So many thanks to those who helped about that image by the way and i don't want to tell name here).

Why there is no real documentation about the half side of authpuppy : The communication side ?
