I hate those wifi "guest pages" that hijack your dns/http. It once downloaded that welcome page as package update and messed up my package manager. But I understand that those are required for legal things.
To the heat issue: is it necessary to cool that second smaller chip? It is only ethernet + usb adapter.
Also when crunching with, the SD-Card might wear out sooner. Consider tuning, boinc or the filesystem parameters to reduce writes. sysctl vm.block_dump might provide information on what is causing writes to the storage.

Agree about guest pages, (as long they don't require installing self signed certificates that are later used for https inspection) - happened to me once in a nice hotel doing not so nice things. But as you said, this will be a simple disclaimer and an opportunity for user to known more about "City & GridCoin Sponsored Wifi", which could be a good read while waiting for a buss.
As for the cooling, I was unsure at the moment of order. But since the LAN chip is going to be active all the time - connected to Raven Airlink Device via ethernet, i was thinking it's a good idea. Anyhow, it should not hurt.
SD-Card issue, good point, I did not think about that. Will test it under heavy load and try to calculate how much it could be expected in terms of durability.
