Hello Benjamin,

We are using pfSense (www.pfsense.com) for our wireless captive portal  
against our Evergreen Consortia using SIP2.  I'm logging library card  
#'s, date/time, IP, and mac address by default and adding more  
information would be trivial.  You're welcome to splice & dice my code  
for your purpose, but I'd highly recommend taking a look at pfSense  
for this task.  You can set timeouts, and block users with fines.
The code is still a work in progress, but it's completely functional.   
pfSense has it's own logging facility for captive portal that I'm  
building upon for statistics.

should work fine with 1.2-RELEASE and 1.2.2
