[Cialug] public/private wifi

[Matthew Nuzum]

What's the ideal way to set up a public/private wifi network? Picture this
scenario:

You have a network that you want to allow people to access publicly. There
is a shared wep key that you can tell people to use when they're connected
to your network. Devices may be a PC or could be a phone, an iPod, a wii or
whatever. However you don't want these people to use your printer or access
your network shares. Being able to limit the bandwidth used by these devices
is nice.

You want it to be easy for the people who should be able to access these
shared resources to get connected to them. They may be using Linux, Mac OS
or Windows. Or they may be a wired or wireless printer (my HP printer uses
wifi and saves scanned docs to a shared folder).

What would you do? Assuming you have a common soho router (maybe openwrt
compatible) a computer that can be used as a server (running whatever OS)
and plenty of networking/linux experience.
