I have added the test computer to the Wireless Access Secuirty Group, i have a test GP on an OU with the PC in it and speicfyed to only use the computer credientials and not to use user credientials. the PC sits at Attemping to Authenticate and i can see on the controller it is using Host/PCNAME.Domain.Local. one thing i do notice is on the WLC the Policy Manager State says: 8021X_REQD when it should say RUN if everything is OK.

You will want your computers in the AD group for wireless, but I believe you also want to change an option in the properties for the Wireless SSID in Group Policy to tell it to authenticate as the computer before the user. I don't have an XP computer with wireless in front of me right now, but check to see if you have that enabled.
I have a very similar setup to yours configured at work and it is working as expected.
