[isf-wifidog] WifiDog Implimentation

[Proulx François]

In fact, you could have a seperate access point, as long as this  
access point is connected to the computer using Wifidog, then you  
would tell Wifidog to listen on the network card where the access  
point is linked to. Wifidog will act as a gateway (firewall  
gatekeeper) on any linux network interface ... so you could have a  
whole network behind wifidog, as long as the computers needing  
internet access are on the same subnet, since wifidog will bounce  
back the request ...
