 The second case is something I am seeing in reality. The reasoning is that
"users arent savvy enough to play with settings" and at the same time
the desire
is to have their machines come on line "automatically" once they get
into the
coverage area of organization APs.

 I got some tool recommendations and will follow up on these. One thing
I haven't
found is a ready made "cracking" tool for MS-CHAP encrypted passwords.
If the
scenario is real threat - I need to make sure we don't end up doing this
here,
and the only way of convincing is by demo at this point.
