> I want to offer free wireless to my neighbors.

I do this too for my neighbors. E.g. see my (not quite complete) write up
at:
http://airshare.org/learn/articles/123/community.cfm
and slides at:
http://sdwug.westside.com/index.html
or the more ambitious current project with some SDWUG members at:
http://sdwug.org/proj/GoldenHill

If you really have to have splash page, an easy way to do this, at
greater expense, is to get an Orinoco AP-2500 which has this ability (and
a bunch more) built in. About $500.

Another way is to get MikroTik software for $240 and install that on an
old PC or Soekris box. A little more hassle to configure (e.g. see
http://www.sdwug.org/proj/ConfigMikroTik), but everything is built in.

Good luck - its a great way to meet your neighbors!

cheers, michael
