Writing open-source for system integrators is a challenge. To some extent, your users are your own competitors. But, why?

CoovaChilli, the open-source access controller, is getting better all the time. Thanks go out to the growing forum, mailing list, and IRC communities for valuable patches and ideas! There is no wonder, then, why CoovaChilli continues to be used in more networks; municipal, mesh, and individual. I hear that Moovera is using it, and I have been helping out Open-mesh.com in integrating it.

CoovaChilli & CoovaAP support

For fun, here is a break-down of the devices (WiFi or Ethernet NIC) seen by CoovaAAA grouped by manufacturer based on IEEE OUI assignments. Some companies are listed multiple times because they have been allocated multiple blocks of MAC addresses - sometimes under slightly different names in the OUI database.

"Wow! That's amazing"

François Proulx of the WifiDog project talking about CoovaAP firmware, and later replied, "I am truly pleased to see that someone took the time to create a nice, easy to use package. OpenWRT is now within reach of almost anyone. And I love the fact that Coova integrates a configuration interface for Wifidog."
