Ah yes... LSU's battles with wireless.  I am glad I don't have to deal
with it much, maybe a couple times a year now.  Unfortunately I can't
offer any specific advice, but I can say that LSU's wireless problems
have actually caused some problems for my $employer, believe it or
not.  Long story.  Anyway, I know one of the guys that is in the thick
of the battle with LSU wireless and I can ask him what they are
planning on doing for the Linux folk, since he uses Linux on the
desktop (one of the few net guys on campus that does AFAIK).  As you
probably also know, LSU is beholden to M$, IBM, and Cisco and
basically doesn't do much outside of those three vendors.
