For our wireless setup we secure it with a WPA PSK. The key is our security and remains unknown to users.
Once it is installed the user boots up the laptop as per usual and uses Novell Client.
We are in the process of VLANing the wireless network into its own subnet to improve roaming between buildings. When students come on board I plan to firewall the wireless network and treat it like untrust with access to be similar as it is from home.

Hello all,
We have just installed Wireless in two buildings and would like to know
if anyone else might have a solution in place already for a problem we
have.
At the moment, if we onto the network using the Microsoft software, it
presently asks you for your username and password (correctly so) and
then lets you onto the network. We then use the Novell software to log
on to get the drives mapped.
If you then log off from the wireless network and reconnect, you are
not presented with any login window for the wireless part. It simply
logs you on using the existing username and password it was provided
with last time.
This will not work, as we require staff and students to be able to log
onto the network providing them with a different network privileges via
the LDAP Server.
We have downloaded Intels solution which works a little better (It asks
each time, but has no easily accessible disconnect button, and has a
Domain name in the middle of the username and password field).
Has anyone using Novell set up wireless before? What software solution
did you choose for laptops to log onto the network with?
Any pointers on software we might try would be appreciated.
Thanks.

. Our CX200 was maxed out as well. Hence the upgrade. We are now using VMWare to virtualise our environment. All seems to be working well so far. I might get the trial version and see how it goes first. It would be good to have a universal format I am sure.
