You could setup a mac override in the NAC as Douglas has mentioned.
What management software are you using for the NAC and the Hipath?

FYI. RASM is the management software for an Enterasys wireless solution. I do 
not know if this supports the Hipath system.

Dean,

If you are using MAC Auth you could have a group defined for the Kindle (based 
on vendor MAC) that gets excluded from having to register. This can be done on 
the same SSID you are currently using. The issue with the OS showing 
incorrectly may need to be debugged further. I would suggest that you contact 
the GTAC 1-800-872-8440 to start a case.

Subject: [enterasys] Amazon Kindle

Hello

I've been asked to have a look at using the Amazon Kindle on our campus 
wireless network. We have our wireless controllers and NAC set up so that the 
students with their laptops etc go to the Enterasys captive portal page and 
register their devices on the network.

However with the Kindle there’s no web browser and it would be nice not to have 
to set up a separate VNS for them. Is there any way to allow the Kindles via 
their MAC address access onto the same student VNS that would usually require 
registration?

I did do a test but the Kindle always showed up on the NAC as an end-system 
that had hit our Unregistered NAC Profile. Strangely the Kindle showed the OS 
as being Enterasys HiPath Wireless Access Point 3610/3620.

Thanks

Dean
