now on topic :)
Same here, our (admittedly few) laptops are configured for EAP-TLS auth with a 
machine specific certificate, not user specific.  WPKG is run by WPKG-gp and this 
works nicely.  Sure it takes somewhat longer than for the wired clients but 
that's just the price you pay for mobility IMHO.
If the laptop is out of our WLAN's range, it obviously doesn't connect and 
WPKG-gp skips the whole process.  Same if its associated with a different WLAN.  
Maybe a VPN could do in such cases.

Cheers,
Malte
