A month of 3 digit afternoon temperatures had me hiding out in my air conditioned lab where among other things, I used the opportunity to turn up instances of chillispot 1.0.2, apache+mod_ssl-1.3.37+2.8.28, freeradius-1.1.7 and mysql-5.0.45 on some old (PII) server hardware (running FreeBSD-6.2) I had laying around. I used venture37's FreeBSD chillispot port for a quick start. I made a few changes to pf.conf accommodating my LAN topology and now have a bare bones hotspot to share some of my bandwidth w/ a few neighbors up and down the river. Nice piece of work venture37, thank you!

Before I hook up the external antenna and raise the power above 1mw :^) I need to build a welcome page that is a little more friendly than the minimal hotspotlogin.cgi dialog provided in the port. Whether I actually 'fluff' up the user interface or not, i am pleased with the outcome of the project and would recommend venture37's port to any wanting to build a hotspot.
