802.1x certificate based wireless solution on mobile disconnected devices -supported?

we have a few hundreds of laptop which are provisioned as WSM mobile disconnected devices, with persistent cache mode. Currently we are using WPA2 passphrase to connect these laptops to wireless network. I'm wondering about whether its possible / supported to use 802.1x machine certificate for logging on to wireless network. It would make some administering easier (GPO benefits, etc)
