[isf-wifidog] Wifidog, portal page and Apple auto-login

[Marcos Tadeu]

Can you ping the Apple products from wifidog captive portal machine,
after login?
If not, it is the problema: wifidog need to ping client to know that it
is alive. If an firewall drop the ping, wifidog consider it dead. And...
pouf.
