I call script from DHCP-Request section to set firewall rule (because i need supplicant MAC-address and issued IP-address). And i need to know where i can call script to remove firewall rule after supplicant disconnected from WiFi network.

But when the supplicant passes through the Wi-Fi zone and communicates with one access point, and then with another, the scheme described above stops working, because after receiving the acct-stop packet from the first access point, the firewall rule is deleted, but does not create a new one (there may not be a new dhcp-request).

If that's really what's occurring and you're not just misinterpreting the accounting messages then it's a bug in the RADIUS accounting implementation on your APs and you should complain to your vendor.

The APs should not send a Stop message unless the session is actually terminated.  As the user continues to use the network on the new AP, then the session has not been terminated, and a stop should not have been sent.

I suspect what's actually happening is the original AP is sending a Stop and Start pair, but the Stop from AP1, is arriving after the Start from AP2, and is deleting the active firewall state.  If that's the case, fix your SQL queries so that doesn't happen.

If a client roams out of range of the wireless network how is it going to send a DHCP release to the DHCP server?
