[isf-wifidog] Little problem with web interface

My email wasn't clear.

Okay, we wanted to configure the router's internet connection settings 
(pppoe) because it was set to DHCP. We were just setting it up.

So of course, the internet was "down". So to configure it, we needed to 
log in via ssh, shutdown wifidog, remove the FW rules (because wdctl 
stop still doesn't kill cleanly), etc.

Very inconvenient!

Now, good thing Michael had access to PuTTY (or downloaded it via an 
open AP around :P).

Personally I would at least leave access to the web interface so we can 
configure the router (router's IP, port 80).
