[isf-wifidog] little mention of wifidog in wired news

[Michael Lenczner]

they didn't fork.  They already had a client / server system, but they
swaped in wifidog client after i told them about it.  And they're
possibly switching to the auth server as well - last I heard - but
that was 2 months ago.
