I am a student employee at Western Washington University ResTek and we are 
having trouble getting PS3s connected to our wireless network.

We have just rolled out the first phase of our wireless project this year 
covering half of our residence halls with wireless service. We have three SSIDs 
one secure with 802.1x/WPA2, one open with web auth, and one open that only 
associates with client MACs that have been registered on our website. The last 
SSID is the one we use for browserless devices and game consoles. Initially we 
could not successfully connect Wiis or PS3s to this wireless SSID. We fixed the 
Wii problem by enabling the 2Mb transfer speed on the APs that the Wii seems to 
prefer however this did not fix our PS3 connection issue. If you have had any 
trouble, luck, tricks or tips for getting PS3s working on your wireless 
networks I would love to hear about them.

This is the hardware we are running currently:
  1  Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS)
  1  Cisco 3310 Mobility Services Engine (MSE)
  3  Cisco 5508 Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC)
426  Cisco AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9 A/B/G/N APs

Thanks!
