These devices prompt for a wireless network during the activation process,
but won't let a webauth succeed.

I like Hunter's idea of adding the Apple/Google/Antivirus sites to the
pre-webauth ACL. Cisco WLC's won't let you use DNS names for ACL entries,
d'oh! Is there a known list of these hosts somewhere before I go sniffing
wireless traffic?

Thanks,
Britton
