I'm sure others on the list will give you better, more detailed information,
but since I had to look over a plan much like this recently I thought I'd
through my hat in the ring just because.

What my employer was planning was to use Cisco's Aironet product (a very
nice product from what I could tell, complete with highly configurable CLI)
to VLAN out two wifi networks - one for employees with access to internal
network, once for visitors with internet access. The visitors would still be
authenticated through a RADIUS server, and that password (for a "guestuser"
or some such) would be changed regularly (that was the plan anyway :) ).

Subject: [fw-wiz] Discretionary WiFi Access

Its not firewall related, but there's some smart minds on this list.
My company has started looking into campus-wide WiFi. I'll 
keep my personal feeling on this to myself though. One thing 
that keeps comming up is that one of the largest user 
communities that would take advantage of this would be 
non-employees. Vendors, Salesmen, people meeting with 
GMs/VPs/Execs are probably going to be the main users of 
this. My question is, if you currently have a similar 
situation in your work environment, how do you handle 
granting these people temp/guest WiFi access.
