WifiWare is a specialized slackware operating system designed for wifi routers, VPN servers and file servers, providing extended functionality optimized for wireless network environments.
The distribution comes equipped with a patched ppp and kernel package/source which introduces support for Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) and Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC). Bear in mind that, like MPPC is a patented algorithm which must be held by the Hifn Inc., US citizens should be wary of using this module to avoid legal issues. With that said, WifiWare adds support for RC4 encryption algorithm which is free of any patents or ownership by RSA Data Security Inc. However, despite all of these facts, US citizens are still warned to use this at their own risk.
Among some of the newest updates you can expect to find in WifiWare include improvements in the drivers and some minor bugfixes. If you're looking for a comprehensive solution for your wifi routers or file servers, then WifiWare is definitely worth checking out.
