For me what you describe is an open wireless network with a transparent 
proxy that aythenticate users on its default redirection page. This 
authentication could and should be made with freeradius in order to have 
fine grained accouting.

Solution could be something like squid + radius_authenticator + freeradius.
I think you can use apache-mod-proxy and PAM, so that you can avoid the 
use of squid but I'm not sure about it.
