Looks nice :-)

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.

That's easy, once you've set up everything, just enable auth. logging in
radiusd.conf

Kind regards,
