Hello David!

Let me try to help you with the different questions you have.

Hello, I am trying to set up a new wireless infrastructure, but I am having trouble getting everything to work. We are only using Cisco WAP4410N's (I am assuming they will work because there is support for 4400 series?).
Well, your assumption is not exactly right. Yes we supports 4400 series but WLC 4400 Series. Those are Cisco Wireless Controllers. The Cisco WAP4410N's that you own are some Linksys access-point which are not the same thing at all.
The goal is to have two SSID's, one where people will freely have access (restricted by network ACL's) and the other which will be presented with a captive portal and then have access to everything internal once registered.
You will have to describe me HOW people will register on the "private/secure" SSID. Do you plan on using only the captive-portal or do you want to also offer some kind of encryption (802.1x)

My question has to do with what settings I need on the wireless access point. The access point has a single port, which we have plugged into a trunk port which has the default VLAN of 96, and tagged with 94 and 96. On the AP, the default VLAN is set to 96, as well as the AP Management VLAN. There are then two SSID's configured: UNREGISTERED on 96 and REGISTERED on 94. Is it ok to have one of the SSID's be on the default VLAN?
I'm not sure to following you when you ask if it's ok to have one of the SSID's be on the default VLAN. Do you plan on having some kind of authentication on this SSID? What do you want to put in place with this one? If you only put on of the SSID's on the default VLAN, people who will connect to this SSID will have access to that "default VLAN". Do you mind on elaborating a bit on what you want to achieve with that one SSID?

At this point, I am able to connect to UNREGISTERED and get on the internet. But when I connect to REGISTERED, it shows me the captive portal and lets me register, but then never gives me internet access. I'm not receiving any traps on the packetfence server, even though I have the trap destination set to the correct IP.
When you say "not receiving any traps on the packetfence server...", what kind of traps do you talk about? You need to understand that wireless access control is managed by RADIUS requests. There is no SNMP traps in the whole process. You either enable mac-authentication or 802.1x on one SSID then set PacketFence as the RADIUS server. When the client will connect to the SSID, PacketFence will receive an Access-Request for the access-point and will (in the case of a simple mac-autentication) return the correct vlan to put the clients in. That being said, the access-point will need to supports dynamic vlan assignment (AAA override) which is mandatory for PacketFence to do his job.

Any help would be much appreciated... this is getting a little frustrating.
I tried to make myself clear. If it's not, don't hesitate to reply with some further details/questions. We'll be more than happy to help you out with that new wireless infrastructure.
Waiting for some news from your side!

David

Cheers!
