Hot-spot management software on (Free)BSD? ["oasis"]

My new employer(! :-)) would like to start deploying hot-spots in certain locations; so far, so good. To avoid misunderstandings: no, these hot-spots would not be free, at least at this time. (They would not be part of the core of the business, either, so it's possible that over time, the use model for the hot-spots will change.) Since we mostly run FreeBSD on the general-purpose computing devices at work, we would prefer to do likewise with the machines that control access to the hot-spots. I see that FreeBSD is listed as a "supported platform" for "a future version of" each of NoCatAuth and NoCatSplash. On the other hand, over at http://software.stockholmopen.net/, I found some software that looks promising, claims that FreeBSD 4.4 is supported, and is released under the BSD license. (Re: supported platforms, README says: Oasis is known to compile on the following platforms: - i386 Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 - FreeBSD 4.4 - i386 RedHat 7.2 [end of README]) So I tried building it on my machine at work: frecnocpc9(4.9-RC)[13] uname -a FreeBSD frecnocpc9.noc.egation.com 4.9-RC FreeBSD 4.9-RC #3: Mon Sep 29 09:51:04 PDT 2003 root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/REPO i386 frecnocpc9(4.9-RC)[14] after installing ports devel/linuxpthreads and net/libnet.
