Thanks for ideas,

In fact, some things you suggest I am using right now :) for example:

*Automatized SecureW2 installer (ttls)
*Web Page with "secondary" password for peap

But even so, some users find somewhat hard to use.

I've tried with no success at this moment use more than one SSID on
OpenWRT on Linksys WRT54GL...

All in all, you and Paul have provided me interesting info...
