I'd be fairly surprised at such a module...

That's pretty similar to a captive portal, which is quite simple to setup: 
you need a small webpage written say in PHP (IP and MAC can be gathered 
directly if the webserver is on the same LAN) and a bitmap:ip,mac type of 
set with timeout, and some static iptables rules. It's almost trivial if 
the things run on the gateway.
