Somewhat OT: Captive portal on acess points instead complex supplicant at level end user?

[Paul Bartell]

This is exactly what Coova does. It blocks all access to the network,
until a correct username/password combination is made. The downfall to
such a system is 1. No encryption, and 2. Any somewhat-knowing
script-kiddie can spoof a mac address and hijack someone's session.
