I've seen many people on this list mention they use mac-filtering for non-standard and non-802.1x devices to access the network. I'm wondering how you are managing this? Is it just a flat list or adding macs as you get requests, or do you have an automated system for management of this. I know Pcketfence would be one good example, but wondering what others are using.
We use "mac authentication". We have the bardford netsentry system for registration. The users register with this system. Then when they connect to the wireless ssid we do a radius lookup to the bradford, but instead of username it looks up mac address. The bardford will return a accept or reject based on the lookup. It even returns a interface so we can support "regsitered" and "unregistered" on the same ssid.
