Yes.

In the portal case, we need a DHCP "login required" message.

YEs, tool useful.

Or an ARP reply message which could carry same "login required".  This
could be sent by the default router to the Client when it presents its
MAC address.

Rather ARP than DHCP because the end effect of the portal authentication
is the opening of a firewall filter which is based on the MAC address.
ARP is at the same level.

It would be nice if we also had a BCP on how to signal and upgrade
From HTTP login to some DHCP EAP, perhaps using a EAP-TLS resume
From the HTTP session state.  This would permit captive portals to
recognize re-logins.

Same with ARP...
