802.1x auth on wired network

Greetings,

We are trying to do 802.1x access control on a wired network with VLAN
assignment. It appears the machine auth works fine but getting the user auth
to work is not working/inconsistent. I have tried the 2 registry hacks
(authmode and supplicantmode) without success. Typically it doesn't try to
auth the user and if it does the first time it doesn't after logout/new user
login. It also appears that it won't do dhcp after the first auth either so
on VLAN change the machine ends up in the wrong subnet. Has anyone
tried/gotten this 802.1x auth to work on wired?

XP SP2 client
Cisco 2960 switch
2003 Server
 
I seem to have the same problem. It looks like this is going to be solved
with Vista (not for sure, haven't tested it yet)

Perhaps a possibility to use another 802.1x Supplicant?

Cheers,

The Cisco Secure client (old Meetinghouse) works great but costs. I did
finally get the registry hacks to work but now I have timing issues. My Docs
is moved to the user share and set for offline synchronization and has
troubles on initial login since the share is not mapped yet. I have it set
to only sync on logout, not login, but it still syncs on login anyway. I've
also got problems now with wireless. The laptops are using Centrino chips
and use the Intel ProSet software. With this running the Windows Zero Config
service has to be disabled which makes the auth tab disappear on the wired
connections. When I disable the Intel software and enable the Windows
service auth works but wireless quit, both wifi and bluetooth. I've gotten
bluetooth back working and wireless thinks it's up but doesn't find any AP's.
New mystery... Yeah, 2000...errr XP....errr Vista will fix everything.
