Wifidog can be pretty far down the line (root of the tree), as long  
as it's on the same subnet as the leaves (of the tree).

It's also possible to do whitelisting with the wifidog.conf.
It was on the mailing list before, although in french

TrustedMACList has been introduced in Wifidog 1.1.3beta2. I don't  
know think it's been release yet... I think Philippe should post it.  
As for whitelisting IPs , i'll let the other guys answer.

As stated above, as long as your on the same subnet, everything  
should be trapped by wifidog...
