[maemo-developers] Dynamic iptables firewall NAT IP masquerade shell scripts + dialog - kind request

[From: Darius Jack]

Hi John and others,

spent last days learning how to manage bandwidth in my router + server.
What I need is dynamic bandwidth management.

To have 3 classes of wifi users.
class 1 - superuser - full bandwidth access
class 2 - users identified by MAC address
class 3 - anonymous users (no MAC address entered)

What I get with iptables, wshaper is wan/lan bandwidth management.
What I need is wlan bandwidth management by users no. , by application, by time of day, date and the like.

Remotely assigning wifi access without the need to rebot server each time.
Ok.
I can run iptables from command line anyway.

But need a nice tool with basic graphical interface (dialog is ok)
and append and remove/ delete MAC address, to generate iptables rules, when run as a shell script .

Another issue is
I need my router + server to access wifi Internet as a client
and share the same access to wifi clients as a server,
with bandwidth management on.

Please refer me to some nice places with shell script solutions.

thanks

Darius
