We don't officially support any client that can't 
authenticate via the web based interface, as we don't have 
the resources to be manually adding devices, especially since 
they are becoming more and more common.

The "unofficial" workaround our helpdesk gives out to those 
who ask is to use some sort of internet connection sharing 
(most use the default 2 nic cards & a windows box) that 
supports the required login method. They logon to the network 
using their windows box and hook their Xbox into a second 
network card on the windows box.

There are certainly disadvantages to promoting this method to 
the student body (like what if a student gets the bright idea 
to hook up an unauthorized wireless access point to their box 
that is doing the internet connection sharing) but at this 
point it is the only way a student can use Xbox live or ps2 
over our network.
