The reason why I ask is that I want to change an endian to an ipfire.

The firewall is used in a small restaurant.
Green is the LAN used by the restaurant itself for internet, mail, etc.

Blue is for guests. Blue is an LAN-interface and a WLAN-Ap is directly 
connected. No use of hostapd.

Actually the guest will get the key and can use their wlan-clients 
(smartphones, netbooks, etc)

Because there is no one which is able to use the webif the mac-filter is 
off. And of course the clients in blue do not see each other.

So if I want to migrate to IPFire i must be able to switch the 2 things.

I hope this makes a little bit more understandable. What I need and why.
