That sounds entirely possible. > > What AP's (if any) have this functionality? I don't know the current state of WiFi boxen and their functionality. I'm willing to wager that any that do are painfully expensive. My personal theory on wireless authentication would be to get the cheapest possible AP, put it in bridge mode, and use "something else" for auth. But, its only theory. > > Am I completely off base w/ my application of this Radius Server? FreeRADIUS will do what it does, and do so very well. You might want to look at nocatauth, http://nocat.net/. It provides capture and release style access via HTML. It can use, amongst others, RADIUS for its auth db. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
