Just to revive a thread that I couldn't answer at the time because we hadn't publicly launched: You might be interested by the newly-announced OpenSEA Alliance (SEA = Secure Edge Access), an industry group initially focused on doing for the free supplicant market what Firefox has done for browsers - i.e. deliver full functionality in an attractive usable package, and possibly drive further innovation from the other players in the 802.1X space. UKERNA (which I guess you could call the UK equivalent of Internet2, delivering the JANET education and research network) is a founding member, so we will be pushing hard for all the education-relevant features that have been mentioned here: preconfigurability and easy roll-out, broad platform support including mobile form factors etc. The initial code release is based upon Xsupplicant, and we think over the next few months will be a viable alternative.
