We use PacketFence in our residence system, but do not use it over wireless. The VLAN isolation model has worked tremendously for us. We have not implemented the NAC portion of it (basically it uses NEssus scanning from what I can tell), we're using it more for simple registration/tracking of student-owned computers.
The documentation is a bit lacking on the website, but the support via the mailing list is excellent, and there is commercial support available.

We're looking at replacing our current NAC solution in the residence halls, and one of the contenders is Packetfence. 1) Has anyone used Packetfence as a Resnet NAC system? Any tips, horror stories, things to watch for? 2) Has anyone integrated a 4400-based Cisco LWAPP deployment with it? The web site says it's supported, but as with most open source products, the documentation seems a bit lacking.
