I ran into a version of this for our campus, though we're only using Cisco
Wism2 as a wireless provider.
The thing that made it mostly work was bumping the dhcp lease time to 180
sec on the registration network - some older phones seemed to get very
confused with a 30 sec lease time.

Might be a contributing factor, perhaps.

Cheers,
David Murrell
