I'd be very very interested in something like this, too. Did you
have any success with hostapd yet?

What I'm interested in in particular: Moving the authenticator
from the wireless AP to some device somewhere else in the mesh.
The wireless AP should then choose to forward to an authenticator
based on the username provided (some authentication protocols
use non-anonymous usernames).
