[SLUG] WiFi Access control

Folks,
I am back at my favorite hotel here in Mexico City. I have a question to toss
out there. The hotel is presently using the WEP keys to control access to the
WiFi system, so they have to go out and every so often change the keys.

I have seen some discussion of using a Linux box to replace the WEP
keys and just leave the system open. So when the user gets on the system
they are routed to the server where they sign in with the code of the day,
if they have no code these things usually will allow you to look at a few
local web pages but that is it. What Linux product could I recommend to
them to replace the WEP key usage in the wireless routers?

"the only dumb question is the one you DID NOT ask resulting in my going
out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of torn
and twisted metal."
