Im in a similar environment, after months of research I have come to the following solution.

   * Apache
   * Freeradius
   * Chillispot
   * Mysql

I have a howto that will help you built a system like this in about half an hour, email me if you want the doc.

Chillispot provides a captive portal which makes a user authenticate (over ssl), then you have the power to apply restrictions like bandwidth throttling, session time limit, etc.

The only maintenance is creating the account.

The idea of having to install certificates in 200+ laptops is not really
feasible.  And showing them how to install is an exercise in futility,
since most of our students are not computer savvy enough to do it.

Hi,

Use EAP-TLS, the most secure one. It will automatically give encryption
key to the clients. U have to do onething, install the client
certificates
in the beginning in each client machine that will use your wireless and
thats it.

There are other options like EAP-PEAP, LEAP etc

Check out for the types of EAP and you will find out.

Cheers.
