Your cheapest option is running DD-WRT (http://dd-wrt.com) and Chillispot (http://www.chillispot.org/). m0n0wall also does captive portal for cheap.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_portal has a good list of captive portals I'm not sure whether it works in a bridging scenario, though; that would be ideal. Anyone tried taking routing out of the picture with DD-WRT and doing chillispot with simple bridging/switching?

Hi, We have been contacted by a hotel that would like us to install some type of access control on their wireless service. Currently they have 6 or 8 Linksys AP's connected via ethernet back to their main switch. Their Cisco router is providing DHCP. The problem is they have a lot of people using their service "around" the hotel area (parking lot, businesses next door, etc.) and so they would like to have just a very basic authentication system (username / password). Any suggestions for something inexpensive? Something that would also act more like a bridge (two ethernets) so we could just plug and play? thanks, Travis Microserv -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
