Excellent! 

The easy question next ... and maybe I am just unclear in reading. Will you be 
able to use say a optional port for your captive portal and another port for 
the lan? I guess I am curious wether you can assign the port the captive 
portal functions on or whether it has to be the default lan port?

I wasn't really kean on this at first but I think it could have some rather 
exciting applications.
