Hi Jordan,

I'm not sure what mechanism PF is using, but you're generally going to want to 
do that with snmpv3.  You'll send a disassociate trap/snmp message to the 
controller and it will kick the client.  You should be able to derive the snmp 
mib via the mac address and send that to the controller(s).  I found it for the 
4400 controllers, I assume it's the same for the 5500/WiSM2's as well.  I'd 
have to track it down again.  If you're dealing with multiple controllers, it 
might be worthwhile to send the disassociation to all of the controllers in 
case the client was roaming.

I think there's a new option to do a CoA (change of authorization) on the newer 
code >= 7.0.220.0 code, but I haven't had a chance to test that yet.  If we can 
get access to that feature, then it should enable some really cool features on 
the controllers.

The service-port is there as a fall-back/oob management port.  You generally 
never use it.  Think of it as a "everything is broken and I need to configure 
it" port.  Have you tried unplugging the service port?  Also, what version of 
code are you running?  Is it running 7.2 or 7.0 code?
