Please see goodies/ and all files having *fidelio* as a part of their
name. Also see the reference manual, ref.pdf, for AuthBy FIDELIO.

Many WLAN NASes add SSID in Called-Station-Id or can be configured to do
so. Also there are various vendor specific attributes that carry just
the SSID.

With this you could set up Handlers for different SSIDs returning
filters for the various bandwiths.

If these are hotel guests, the authentication is usually done based on
room number (username) and surname (password). This does not require the
hotel guests to have specific accounts and passwords just for the hotel
wifi.

If you go with Radmin you need to somehow keep the Radmin users in sync
with Opera.

There's goodies/fideliosim.pl you can use to see how Opera interface
works and what the data looks like.  The best case would be if the
bandwidth the user has would be part of Opera data. You would need to
check with the hotel's Opera admins to see if that information can be
made available with Opera.

Thanks!
