Nathan, We are deploying WPA2-Entrprise this summer on our Aruba wireless system. We adjusted some of the 802.1X parameters from the defaults to improve the user experience, especially on OSX and iOS devices. We based our setting on those from another Aruba customer.
I believe you are using Meru wireless. Apparently the default vendor settings are not always the best performing in the real world. Perhaps you could get some advice from another Meru customer that has deployed WOA2-Enterprise. Just a thought.

Do you support/allow Bonjour over wireless so that iOS devices can talk to each other? We currently do not, but we are thinking about enabling it for the fall. 2. What kind of wireless security do you use on the network for iOS devices and are you happy with your setup? We currently place iOS devices on a WPA2-PSK network, but we are considering a change to WPA2-Enterprise. My primary concern is how quickly the devices can authenticate so that the user experience remains good. It seems to take a little longer for the wireless to connect in my testing.
