access point that caps bandwidth?

Is there a access point that allows you to cap its bandwidth to each user?
I want to setup a public access point but allow only a certain amount to
bandwidth for each user. If there are no access point that has this
capability, can someone suggest some alternatives.

Some of the various Linksys WRT54G routers and WAP54G access points
modified firmware include some form of traffic management. Older
versions used "wondershaper". Newer versions use something else:

I'm not familiar with these firmware mutations so I can't describe how
they work. Methinks contol by MAC address is sufficient for per user
control.
