If control of user access (usually via 'connected time' or data volume) is
required there is a
(commercial linux based) solution available. Even includes some filtering
capabilities. Time/volume 
per individual is controlled centrally per nominated period.

You could build a like product yourself, with the real works being on the
accounting component.

Naturally the dictate is that all devices use DHCP (or appropriate static
addr) if they require 
access across the box (to the internet).  Supports wired & wireless
connections.
