[KLUG Members] 802.1x EAP support?

[Darrel Ray Clute, III]

On sourcforge there is libeap.  I am not sure how stable it is
currently.  If this is for a business app and the business has already
or is planning on implementing Cisco devices I would suggest Cisco LEAP
solution.  Read more at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns110/ns175/ns176/ns178/networking_solutions_package.html.

This includes all EAP and Cisco related solutions as well as the Cisco
SAFE Wireless White Paper which is an excellent source of general
wireless security measures.
