Do these require a re-DHCP after authenticating? If not, they could work transparently using dispatcher scripts, or a program listening on D-Bus for new network connections to known SSIDs, then performing the auto-login with stored credentials. This has already been proven to work for various AT&T wifi hotspots, there are some links around for it.
