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.
