One other related category that we've run into a few times is research equipment, most notably robotics. I just recently dealt with a brand new, state of the art $200k robot that only supports PSK - no 802.1x support at all.

While they're not that dissimilar from the consumer grade devices (in the above robot, I suspect it's wireless was in fact provided by a consumer grade belkin adapter), the "critical academic research" classification and the amount of research money behind them effectively means they have to get treated very differently than "my Wii can't stream netflix" complaints.

Colleen,

- What are others doing to support home networking products in the enterprise 
(besides just Apple products)?  Ways to do this without having to completely adapt 
a vendor solution & be locked into an end to end solution.


Could you (or anyone on the list) give a few examples of home networking 
products that you have in mind and the challenges that come with them
I can think of:
Printers (interference, security, being on same layer 2)
the slew of Apple products (and equivalent products) (the challenges of mDNS)
Game consoles (the ones that cannot do 802.1x)
What else?


- Any good success stories with IPv6 on wireless? Or location based authZ on 
wireless?

Any specific use case for Location based AuthZ on Wi-Fi?


I know I'll have access to login after the conference is over to review the 
session, so I hope these will be discussed!


The session is not recorded but we will try to provide a good summary of the 
discussion back on the list

Thanks,

Philippe

Topics that come to mind:

-802.11AC Why wait? Why jump?

(or consequences for not doing it)
-Is Wireless management slowly moving to the switch? What does it mean for us?
(Will it all work with openflow seamlessly?)

Any other topic you want us to discuss?
