these are the two that i believe are most popular:
http://m0n0.ch/wall/
http://www.pfsense.org/

i'm personally more familiar with m0n0wall, this would probably be most

http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/hardware-wireless.html

it has captive portal etc and works great with Soekris machines.  pfsense
- as the name implies - uses the OpenBSD pf packet filter.
