One pain point of a quickly growing wireless network (especially when using public IPs) is to accommodate from growth. Recently we went through an informal RFI process to select a new wireless vendor. With Cisco we are now able to add IP address space to our wireless network by using AP

We've been using this (VLAN Pooling) at Brandeis for the same time period and have been very happy with it. One new feature in Aruba OS 5.0 is the ability to have an SSID on any AP (no special provisioning) act in a bridge mode while also maintaining the 802.1x security and any firewall rules
