[BBLISA] Wifi guest access

[nicholas.kathmann at kathmannconsulting.com]

NoCatSplash and NoCatAuth will probably work for what you need.  You 
can either
run it on a physical machine, or on embedded hardware made just for APs 
(pretty
cheap).  If you need help getting up a linux AP with NoCat let me know, I have
several APs already configured for it.
