Am not sure to understand... Once the wifi user entered the network
(level2: no IP yet), I have an entry for its sessions in my accouting
database, with username, sessionID, maybe mac_address and so on...
But when the user sends a DHCP request to obtain IP address (gain level3
access), that request may not contain any reference to the username, but
to the mac address... that's it?

So the trick would be to get the username from the mac address querying
the accouting database?
And then?  Can I use any ippool module in the freeradius DHCP server? or
Do I have to use static mapping mac2ip?

Hope I am clear enough, Thks
