Yikes- that ends up being some pretty pricey unreliable hardware. I have to wonder if the same class of hardware from other vendors is just as quirky, but perhaps you hear less about them because of lesser market share? Or are the WiSMs is a dubious class by themselves?

We have both web auth wlan and WPA wlan(majority of users are on web auth wlan). We have found when wisms are running in a higher load(500-1000 users per controller), they will start to have crash issue and web auth issue(web login page not loading). They run very stable when the load is low. Is this the same case for other deployments as well? I hope someone can share following info with me: 1. Are your wisms stable and what code do you use? 2. How many users total and how many web auth users do you have per controller(NOT per wism blade) Thanks!
