I would be interested in this as well. Right now I am using a PERL script in conjunction with MRTG to graph our CPU usage. The script uses telnet to pull the current CPU usage from the WiSMs. I am willing to share this, but it does require the Net::Telnet::Cisco PERL module to be installed.

We ran into similar problems with this configuration. The WiSM wouldn't allow a DHCP broadcast to propagate through the controller, it HAD to relay the request somewhere. Bluesocket HAS to see a DHCP BROADCAST in order to build a client session, so the WiSM/Bluesocket configuration is a dicey one.

Under the SSID setting there is a session timeout value. By default I believe that it is 0, you may want to check that. To me a 0 indicates that the feature is disabled, but it may also indicate a default behavior, which could be a forced re-authentication after 14,400 seconds (4 hours). --Joe
