OK, that sounds reasonable. I added support for this to the CVS version
of hostapd. hostapd.conf now has 'radius_acct_interim_interval' which is
this update interval in seconds. I assumed that the Interim-Update
packets report the total numbers from the beginning of the session, not
from the previous interim update. Please let me know if this matches
with what you would expect from this feature and whether the
implementation works for you.
