Wireless Access with HTTP authentication page

The PHB wants a wireless router that hijacks the web page and queries for a username and password, like a hotspot.

This is not for a commercial service.  He just doesn't want to make people use a shared key, not charge them.  So accounting is not necessary -- just authentication.

I'm looking for an all in one solution.

I have used PublicIP http://www.publicip.com/ and it works fantastic. It is a bootable CDrom and runs in memory, so it does not write to the hard drive. there are a couple requirements, first you need a pc to run it on (an old 386 would work just fine, and two nic cards. One nic goes to the router and the other to the Access Point.

Can I do this without a separate server?  I just want a wifi router that hi-jacks the web page and authenticates the user.

Your reference to WRT54G got me poking around a bit.  WRT54GL does have several hijack pages with radius authentication.  Kudos.
