There are additional groups of users that you will need to consider also. Any machines that come locked-down so that the supplicant cannot be configured, and user populations that will not have authentication accounts. These are probably larger than the number on non-compatible devices. To support these we provide an additional open SSID with a captive portal guest access system. Specifically we use a blue-socket with the ability to send self-sponsored user accounts a short term password via cell phone text message.

Subject: Non-enterprise wireless devices
We want to push wireless devices to using 802.1x with WPA-Enterprise,
but we don't know how many devices won't support this since we don't yet
offer wireless access. Does anyone have a list of these "home/personal
wireless-only" devices to share?
For instance, I know the WiFi-only version of the Kindle can't use
802.1x. What about game consoles? TVs? MP3 players? Printers? Cell
phones?
Any interesting accommodations you've made to allow these would be
helpful, too. For example, an additional unencrpyted SSID, a wireless
bridge, etc..
Thanks,
