Hello Saul

I'll adopt your patch.

I didn't patch it into the wifidog code yet, but I looked into it 
directly.

1. Cool idea!
2. Good code. Looks fine. You're even using safe_strdup !
3. Are you posting it here asking for help ? Is it not working as 
expected ?

and finally for wifidog group:
4. This is cool bean. You plop the MAC address of the wifi interface in 
the auth server and there's no need to configure the gateway ID in the 
client.  Does anyone see a reason why not to incorporate this into our 
tree ?
