I am curious about this - do you see any mac address spoofing with this solution? i.e. people spoofing their mac address on their laptops for the registered one on the game console or are you doing any kind of DHCP fingerprinting in addition to registering the mac address. This is one reason why we haven't done it yet.

Hi Marcelo, Your proposed solution is how we handled it. We have a separate SSID using PSK and MAC filtering. Our web folks made a page to register devices. Students just enter their username, what type of device it is, and the MAC address. I manually handle the entry, because students will sometimes make a mistake in the MAC address or not know what to put there. Some students have problems finding the MAC on some devices, but I have been making guides for the popular ones. Those go up on the website where they register too. Overall it works very well and I am up to over 600 devices registered in this way. Hopefully more devices will support 802.1x in the future (like the iPhone/iPod Touch do) but who knows. Take care!

We are getting more and more requests to connect gaming consoles on our wi-fi network. Gaming consoles don't currently support wpa/wpa2-enterprise (they all do support psk), and I have not had any luck finding a wireless gaming adapter that does either. I guess another ssid with pre-share key/ mac-address registration would be an option for now. Could I get some input from the group on how you guys are doing it? And if with mac-address registration, how is the process accomplished? Are students satisfied with the process? Thanks!
