Two facts:

Proprietary EAP methods that can actually complete in a reasonable
amount of time. Many of these have small security holes and thus are
not acceptable as standards. (I know, I wrote two of them myself!).

They have thin APs with a central switch, so the phones don't actually
roam in the classic 802.11 sense. Thus the 802.1X exchange may only
occur once (when the phone is turned on); then al you need is enough
memory for the code, and with advances in Flash that is now possible.
