[isf-wifidog] Trouble with Wifi Install

[V Patel]

Are you sure you have the latest version? I believe you have the version
posted on Sourceforge. That is outdated one as it is not updated since last
year. Remember that wifidog has not reached version 1.0 yet so you can get
the latest version by using svn command. create a directory (lets say
wifidog-auth) change to that directory and type

svn checkout https://dev.wifidog.org/svn/trunk/wifidog-auth

This will download all the neccessory files. There have been significant
changes made to the project since the last upload on sourceforge. I
downloaded the sourceforge version and as you said it has line commented out
but the newer version has extra else statement. so download the newer one
with svn.
