    Will it be possible to create module for user authentication on wireless using Live ID. There's solution CoovaAP that supports Web, Drupal and Facebook authentication (Captive Portal). The question is , are there some technical issues that could prevent me to pursue this course of action ? just to be clear, I'd like to use Live ID as captive Portal. what next ?

    There is nothing which would limit you from implementing this. You just need to whitelist the domains related to Live ID (login.live.com, for example) so your client can access these and then sign in. Upon signing in, have the user return to your portal authentication provider and process the token. If it's all good, authenticate him.
