I don't know about link level logins.
The only thing I could suggest would be to get a cheep router. This is
beneficial for several reasons ( I suggest this to everyone with broadband,
even if they only have one computer)
1.) Do MAC cloning and setup you authentication once, and you don't have to
ever worry about it again. You can add wireless AP, guest computers,
appliances, etc. whenever you want and never have to worry about setup.
2.) Have a hardware firewall.
B-)
