Interesting thread! This pushed me to test as well (with a 7921G). My
results were slightly different from what you state, Jason. I enabled
CAC for Voice only. With the WLAN QoS set to anything other than
platinum, the 7921G can't call my 7962G (network busy); however, it
has no trouble registering to CME. And then setting QoS to platinum
allows calls.

Adding video CAC doesn't change anything. And with video CAC alone,
everything works fine too, no matter the QoS level.
