Since some time, Deutsche Bahn rolled public wireless lan called “WLAN am Bahnhof” out at 25 railroad stations, you can choose between 4 providers. Sounds really nice, but beside the economical conditions, there is also at least one security issue.
Connecting to the network and opening your favorite browser redirects you to a encrypted portal. So far, so good … the really bad news is, that the certificate expired over 6 years ago.
This seems to be a normal behavior, since it happens often, that invalid certificates are used. This leeds to blunted users, which aren’t verifying such certificates anymore, even when it’s important.
Does anybody know a reasonable way to notify anybody who can solve the problem there beside the normal contact forms?

I was searching half a night and 2 hours today to get a Linksys Router working a wireless bridge with WPA(2) encryption. I tried Openwrt White Russian RC5 and DD-Wrt V23 SP1 and many combinations of WPA, WPA2, TKIP, AES. The bridge works well with WEP and without any encryption….
Okay … we got the serial port running (same like WRT54GS), so we could be more risky. After some tries I decided to work analog the WRT54G models.
Don´t ask how, but we got some units to europe.
The first thing we does, was to install openwrt and to try debridge the switch to have multiple interfaces instead. We was able to remove ports from the switch, but cant create additional working vlans like on WRT54G. So at this point its useless for our purpose. But we will start exploring as son as possible we have a running serial console.
