[isf-wifidog] Wifidog installation

[Bruno Remy]

Thanks Mina !
nvram setting is a piece of cake !  I simply needed some tips, haven't 
take the chance to read the

http://openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Configuration

How lazy I am !

I simply changed Wifidog interface on wifidog.conf  : no need bridges at 
the moment.
