We're using a homegrown captive portal solution to deal with
trunks of vlans, and also to do all of the magic including
firewalling all at layer 2.  Via radius AAA it hooks into
our other enterprise systems.

Feel free to ping me w/ questions, etc on how to get it
running.  We're running this for thousands of users across
campus.  You can set up other vlans on the AP's for other
security zones / crypto, too.
