As an addendum to this situation...our 802.1x SSID uses EAP-TTLS (PAP) which is why we had to install a profile onto the iPhone. Similarly our Windows users have to install SecureW2.

HI We are receiving complaints from people who have upgraded to the iPhone 3.0 firmware. We operate 2 Wireless SSID's on our campus (guest and regular). Our Guest ssid is a WPA-PSK that redirects to a portal and our Regular SSID is an 802.1x authenticated ssid. Users using the Regular ssid had to install a profile the first time they used it. Prior to version 3.0 of the iPhone, users devices would remember the last network they connected to and auto-connect to the Regular network. Now it does not do that. Instead, it goes like: To replicate: - Bring phone out of sleep, it auto-connects to Edge/3G - Bring up some web app, like Safari - Normally phone should just auto-join Regular, instead it brings up the list of available wifi networks (including Regular and Guest). - Selecting Regular gives the "Are you sure you want to join this network?" message, as if you're joining it for the first time. - Picking join exits Safari and takes you to the iPhone wifi settings screen, where it correctly automatically logs into Regular without any intervention. - You exit settings and go back to Safari, Regular works until you put the phone back to sleep. Just thought I'd check here. Any help is appreciated.
