Access point software?

Hi,

I just came into a bunch (40+) of net4526-30's. I have a few 4501's
running as routers, and decided that I'd like to setup 1 or 2 of the
4526's as wireless access points. They each have Engenius/Prism 802.11b
cards in them.

I looked into m0n0wall, which I have running on one of my 4526's, but it
will only do wireless as a third interface, and has the web GUI
(required to setup wireless) bound to the LAN interface... so it's
pretty much useless unless I can manually edit the config files to set
an SSID, and then access the config over wireless.

I'm really looking for something pre-made, preferably with a web gui
(but SSH is fine too). It's just going to be used as an AP on a LAN, so
advanced features aren't needed, but I would like some sort of
encryption (WEP is fine), as well as (the less easy-to-find) captive
portal with RADIUS or LDAP or something like that, possibly MAC
filtering, DHCP relay, etc.

Any suggestions? I've planned a few projects with these, but would like
to get the AP up and running with a minimum of fuss (i.e. making a new
AP-centric m0n0wall image isn't what I was hoping for).

Thanks for any advice,
Jason
