You see, the new style script & configuration is not compatible with the old one. But without documentation it took me quite a while to figure out the new configuration options, so I am writing this document to help others. Many thanks to the anonymous (to me) developer. So it is integrated much tighter into OpenWrt. Not only is there now a startup script, said startup script parses OpenWrt style configuration in the /etc/config/chilli file. So it is pretty much a drop-in replacement of ChilliSpot.ĬoovaChilli has been available as package on OpenWrt for several years now and if you manually created a init.d startup script and edited the defaults configuration file it worked quite well since at least Backfire 10.03īut since 15.05 Chaos Calmer it has been better integrated. And in fact, CoovaChilli's main executable binary is 'chilli' and its configuration is in '/etc/chilli'. So much in fact that if you see any reference to 'chilli' on the internet, as in 'we support or require chilli' you can safely assume they mean 'coovachilli'. So much that the CoovaChilli fork has completely taken over its role. Originally the common opensource captive hotspot was ChilliSpot, but it has long since fallen into disrepair.
