Thanks for the summary Lee. I am totally on-board with the ability to do WPA Enterprise at all being great. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one seeing some strangeness.
I was going to take a look at the config tool anyway, but I will give that a shot and then see what issues remain. The charge for 2.0 for Touch users is totally ridiculous. It will stink that there a bunch of Touches on campus that are missing those security fixes and the ability to use the configuration profiles, just because there is a 10 dollar charge for it.

In the iPhone, I see no prompting at all for any certs, etc., just spins it's obnoxious little wheel until it times out and jumps over to a non-secure WLAN - even when setting the right profile settings, rebooting the iPhone usually needs a reboot to find the WPA network - if you use the pre-configure tool as opposed to manually setting it up, the user experience is a lot quicker and more consistent - regardless of how you get set up, there is a lot of variability in the smoothness of transitioning between WLANs, especially secure and non-secure. My other hand-helds (iPaq, Palm TX) have no such issues on same networks from same places - You'll note that there seems to be no place in the settings to enter a specific auth server, leaving a potential vector for man-in-the-middle fun. All this being said- the fact that you can point the iPhone to the secure WLAN and connect is in itself a huge gain for those who have been demanding it. We'll keep on watching and observing as this product and it's processes mature. I will say that I find the fee for iPod Touch upgrades to get the 2.0 software somewhat disgusting, given the laundry list of security fixes that are included. Seems like it should have been a free patch. Ah wellJ Lee H.

I have had some strange problems with mine and some others here. When trying to connect to my WPA2 PEAP-MSCHAPv2 network, for a while it wouldn't prompt me to accept our self-signed cert. After resetting the network settings (Settings -> General -> Reset) it prompted me and connected just fine. Then I go home and can no longer connect to my WPA2-PSK network there after putting the password in. A day later, it worked fine! Other people here have seen some similar strange issues. Sometimes turning the WiFi adapter off and back on is enough to take care of it, sometimes not. Sometimes resetting all the network stuff helps, but again, sometimes not.
