EAP-TLS is fine, as long as you're willing to accept the overhead
of certificate management (which is easier using AD), though note
that you are then changing from per-user authentication to
per-machine authentication, which may not be what you want/need.

If you're using Windows on the clients, that's about the only
other option unless you start to use a 3rd party 802.1X
supplicant (or Windows >= 8). There may be other options with
different client operating systems.

Cheers,

Matthew
