WLAN association before Windows login?

Hey, Everyone -

I was hoping someone would know of a way to do this:

I have a number of kiosks which I have secured via WPA2. These clients require a windows login in order to access the data. (Windows also logs them out if they remain idle for too long.)

Is there any way I can make their WLAN association pervade multiple Windows user sessions? Or, is there a way to make WLAN association happen first, before Windows authentication?

From a user perspective, there's a long delay after they log in before they can use their application because they have to re-associate/authenticate to the WLAN.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
