Dont do 802.1x without a provisioner that creates a profile on the device
telling the device to trust connections secured with a cert issued by a
particular root CA with a particular common name.  Otherwise, someone could
setup an AP at the side of the road around the corner from your campus and
peoples phones will authenticate to it and pass off credentials as they are
driving by.   :D

SecureW2 works great for us.  I honestly haven't tried any of the PF
provisioners yet because they came out after we purchased SecureW2.

Windows will NOT work at ALL with a wildcard cert.  So maybe that is your
issue right there.
