What you're looking for is a captive portal. There are several out there, some will run on FreeBSD (maybe most of them will, I dunno). For some reason I don't think the orinoco card will do hostap with FreeBSD's drivers. The orinoco probably isn't the best choice for this project anyway. Depending on your hardware, atheros or prism would be a better bet. CompUSA or BestBuy (don't recall which) is selling the 200mw SMC or Senao card with the prism chipset for $30-$40 in pcmcia. Another solution, although not FreeBSD, is StarOS. It'll do hostap on the orinoco and has the captive portal and radius stuff built in for $40.
