Tim,

If you have the option of a Microsoft-centric solution, you may want to
check out the following whitepaper.

Microsoft Solution for Securing Wireless LANs
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14844

"The Securing Wireless LANs solution provides Planning, Implementation,
Operations and Test guides, as well as additional resources including
installation scripts, security templates, monitoring scripts, and
implementation planning resources.

This solution provides an overview of Microsoft's Solution for Securing
Wireless LANs. The solution focuses on Microsoft's approach of using 802.1x
authentication, RADIUS and public key infrastructure (PKI) to provide a
robust, highly secure answer to the problems of current wireless LAN
deployments for organizations ranging from several hundred to many thousand
users. It will aid the IT Professional in understanding the design,
installation, and ongoing management tasks involved. Topics include: secure
authentication of wireless clients using 802.1x, EAP-TLS and Internet
Authentication Services, tackling weaknesses in WEP, deploying a PKI with
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Certificate Services, integration with Active
Directory and Group Policy, configuration of Windows XP clients, and
monitoring and management of these components."

We're going to be taking the dive on a WLAN here soon.  We have two floors
and two wings on each floor.  I'm thinking of 2 access points per wing.  My
question, is that I'm looking for opinions on how best to set this up
security-wise.  I've been reading a lot about this lately, but maybe someone
on this list has set this up and give me some input.  My Wireless knowledge
is probably a 4 (out of 10).  Thanks, -Tim
