We are actually researching this current idea right now. Between 802.1x and the SSL VPN we are leaning towards the SSL VPN with what some vendors call "network connect" application that's delivered via the web login. Our goal is not have to deal with the problems of 802.1x clients across different students laptops as we don't control what they bring, at the same time provide as close to zero configuration required to get on the wireless.
Our current method is WEP with a NetReg type system, so while it's a one time setup, then just a login, we were interessted in seeing how much easier we can make it. In reviewing the numerous SSL VPN's out there, we're leaning towards the ones that can deliver the network connect client (so most if not all applications work) via the web vs a fat client, so students don't have to install anything... I'll let you know how our demo's go!

Also, I would be curious to know what other folks think about implementing 802.1x. Specifically do you believe this is something that will be required in the next couple of years to support evolving technology like VoIP phones?. I'm trying to decide if I should deploy an SSL vpn solution without deploying 802.1x. My instinct tells me to plan for 8021x but I would be curious to hear what others think.
