With a disclaimer that our PacketFence install is bordering on grossly 
obsolete, I'm sending a heads-up for anyone still using Meru/Fortinet wireless 
equipment.

Their controller firmware version 8.4.3 has either a bug or feature where they 
are no longer sending the RADIUS Calling-Station-ID to PF.  This was observed 
on an open SSID, using MAC authentication.  I don't know if 802.1x 
authentication is also missing the Calling-Station-ID.  At least on our ancient 
version of PF, RADIUS returns no VLAN...so the controller uses whatever the 
default VLAN is configured for.  Upgrading from 8.4.2 to 8.4.3 resulted in two 
days of head-scratching before raddebug revealed the cause of VLANs not 
switching.

The release notes supposedly do not mention any RADIUS changes whatsoever.  
However, doing a stare-and-compare between the web GUI in 8.4.2 and 8.4.3, the 
pick list for RADIUS parameter Called-Station-ID tripled in available formats 
to send.

We have an escalated ticket open with Fortinet support, and will report back 
any news...
