We experienced this last year also on macs. We use XpressConnect which has the ability to remove the profiles for the open networks. If you are an Xpressconnect user, there is a setting for the latest build which activates this solution even in the absence of Java. We just completed our opening and it worked very smoothly.

On Windows, our connection utility removes the open network so that the students do not continue to use it.

I have noticed 802.1x clients dropping back to our open network on a regular basis. I am wondering if it is because of the SSID broadcast suppression. Perhaps the broadcasted networks look better for some reason and the clients choose to jump. Has anyone else noticed this?
