I have this need to but haven't tried to solve it yet, can't some simple
Squid authentication be used?

Some people have tried DNS and DHCP, but I think this is an over
elaboration, and could break things, see the last comp.risks for what
might happen if you divert random http sessions.

Our problem is we can't guarantee to supply hardware to run Squid
between the WAP and the Internet pipe, so we need a WAP that can do it,
but still be cheap for another wireless project in the offing.

If you can put Squid (or even just iptables) in the way you can readily
force people to use it.
