Gack.. sounds like typical state institution mentality..
Stanford's approach is a bit different.
To access the Stanford network via wireless, you need to have three things:
1. a 802.11b wireless card
2. the MAC address of your card needs to be in Stanford's network database,
with the DHCP, and DHCP ROAMING flags checked.
3. a SUNet ID (kerberos)
If your card is recognised by the DHCP servers as valid, you will get an
IP address, you will then need to present a currently valid kerberos ticket
to the captive portal, or login to the WebAuth webpage to obtain a ticket
for that session.
Temporary ID's are (in theory) available, but i'm not sure of the procedure
for obtaining them.
Stanford distributes kerberos clients for Mac and Windoze, as well as a
Linux distribution tuned for Stanford's environment, with kerberos included.
Stanford uses Cisco 350 AP's, on a isolated network for the wireless access.
