I take it that you mean, is it possible to make it transparent to the user, in which, the answer is yes. Depending on your access points, you may be able to do MAC address authentication, which anyone will tell you is insanely insecure, but it prevents people from driving up and accessing your network (unless they are technically inclined to use a packet capturing program and spoof a mac address). So insecure, yes. But practical so long as you dont have a bunch of crackers living around wherever you are setting up authentication. Mac OSX as well as many Linux distros have 802.1x authentication/WPA enterprise built in, so it is not much of a problem. Im not sure about the current state of windows in this department (havent used it in a while... could someone chime in)
