Unfortunately, wlan_acl(4) is only useful if one wants to ban users from the network, which these venues will rarely want to do except to block an abuser.

For example, a user might be trapped in a "walled garden" until agreeing to an acceptable use policy, and then redirected -- but only once -- to a specific Web page, such as the hotel chain's reservation page. --Brett Glass
