Yes it is .. just check the box for "authenticate as computer account"
in the wireless properties (in XP). IIRC this was introduced when they finally fixed the supplicant in sp2.

Also, would it be better to get the AD authentication working BEFORE I attempt to authenticate prior to login or is it the same either way?
