At the moment, all of our access is "guest" except for specific client laptops that belong to the college. This will provide access to our portal when it comes online, so users with portal accounts will be able to reach additional resources through that. Eventually, deployment of Identity Management and 802.1x and VPN may, in some combination, allow us to offer non-guest access at the wireless connection, but that's still somewhere in the pipeline.
Note that there are a variety of "wireless security" products which focus on access to the wireless service, and so don't apply if you offer "guest" access. Instead, attention needs to focus on "where can these clients get to", and that applies as well to open wired ports (we're starting to see these in some classrooms and drop-in areas) as to wireless.
