Simple Article on Configuring 802.1X
802.1X is a powerful technology forcing people to authenticate before they are able to access Layer 2 services (such as a switchport or wireless access point). I recently stumbled on a step-by-step article showing an end-to-end configuration for the Windows RADIUS server, the Windows XP client, and the Cisco wireless access point - the link is below; just click the Server, Client, and Access Point links at the bottom of the page to get the configurations.

I would recommend using PEAP instead of the certificates on the clients. This removes the need to requirement of having to deploy a certificate on the client. Instead their Windows credentials are used. You still need a certificate for the IAS (RADIUS) server.
