Layer 7 net filtering may help [1]
Also, IMO the HW spec, that the OP has posted, is an overkill.
I am using ZeroShell [2] in production (ALIX hardware). It has
almost all the features that the OP has listed in his wish list + L7
filter capabilities but I have not used it. Wi-Fi support - it uses
MadWi-Fi.
In most cases, a Captive Portal is enough deterrent for people to curb
their "promiscuous" surfing habits :)

incorporated into ClearOS.
