Linux-based managed access-point from Sputnik. Sputnik has shipped the next generation of its Linux-based, open source managed WiFi AP. At $185, it's the cheapest managed AP on the market, with some of the coolest features (though in most contexts I think I'd just advise shopping for el-cheapo no-name APs for $30 per and connecting them to a $50 a month DSL and making your money back in extra lattes, rather than paying for a managed solution).
The Sputnik AP 160 utilizes a customizeable captive portal that requires end-users to authenticate with their username and password before they can access the wireless network.
Additional wireless and wired devices connected through the AP 160’s built-in four-port router are also authenticated and managed by Sputnik Control Center. Simply plug third-party APs into the back of the Sputnik AP 160; end-users who associate with those APs are authenticated and tracked. The same principle applies to end-users who connect directly to the LAN ports. Link (via Sifry) [Boing Boing Blog]
