>>  The best approach is to use VLANs.  You can create one VLAN per network segment.  Then use one SSID.  And when a user connects, assign him to the correct VLAN.

You know Dell Powerconnect 6248 switches (48 port GBE) which will do L3 routing are <$100 on ebay, right. (I think the last one I bought was ~$50)
6248-PoE's are like <$125.

Seems like a pretty cheap way to "git er done," if it can solve your problem.
