Hello everyone
I am very new to freeradius and security type environments and I am
feeling somewhat out of my depth at the moment.
My current situation is that I have a chillispot WIFI setup. A diagram
of the current network can be seen at

Looks nice :-)
The problem I have with this setup is that unscrupulous people are
connecting to the unprotected APs without authenticating and playing
games between themselves therefore bogging down our network with their
traffic.
Just wondering, that firewall (smooth1) is a smoothwall box?
If yes, It's been a while since i've been playing with it, but I remember there was a chillispot mod for it.(check the homebrew forum)
Just add an extra nic to that box and try it out. Your wireless will be completely seperated from the rest of the network too this way.
Also, as already suggested, you can run chillispot directly from a WRT54GL (maybe WAP54G also, not sure) with alternative firmware, which is probably the most easy solution.

Here is what I would like to do. When a user attempts to connect to the
AP, the user is presented with a login screen (much like chillispot),
the user logs on and they are connected to the AP and can use the
network as expected. If a user cannot authenticate the attempt is
logged and the connection attempt to the AP is dropped.
That's easy, once you've set up everything, just enable auth. logging in radiusd.conf
Kind regards,
Yves
