Anyone know of a decent AP that will allow management of the MAC access table via SNMP?

I have a client that is wanting to install a small wlan (802.11b) in his hotel for guest use. Currently we are looking at a basic MAC based access list to control access. However, I would like to install an access point that can be managed via snmp.

Our eventual goal is to be able to roll out a custom software program that will allow them to easily add/remove mac addresses of guest-owned wireless nics, and possibly schedule them to "drop off" the network the day after they check out (but thats another thread altogether).

The only other requirement is that it support at least 64bit WEP.


 
what you may want to look into is some sort of bandwidth manager that will also have those capibilities. YDI makes a great one more info on that is on thier website.
i'm sure something like that would be more secure for what your wanting to do, however it will be a little costly. there are more than likely more companies producing those devices in which i'm not aware of names. good luck!

The problem I would foresee with trying to manage this by MAC, How many of the guests would know their MAC or even how to find it?
