We use Intermapper. It's very flexible, and offers a 'wireless probe' packa=
ge, which covers Motorola Canopy and their PTP products, along with several=
other hardware vendors (Alvarion, Atmel, MikroTik, etc). Also, it's writte=
n in Java, and runs on just about anything.
It does monitoring and (very basic) graphing, but not management. They have=
a pretty well documented and simple scripting language for writing new pro=
bes as well, which comes in very handy. I've written probes for several Dra=
gonwave products, and submitted them to the community.
Their support is also very responsive, which is always important.
