WPA / IEEE 802.1x progress
It seems that Ronald van der Pol
convinced
NetBSD to talk IEEE 802.1 authentication for wireless LAN
using hostapd with his Atheros card. It seems that
a few small patches
were needed to compile things, but nothing serious.
Let's hope this gets integrated into NetBSD and documented(!)
eventually. (We should start a WLAN chapter in the NetBSD Guide... :)
(Why is this interesting for me and Jan? I've moved to teach
at Jan's campus this fall, and they seem to be phasing out the
MAC/DHCP-based wireless LAN with something that's using
IEEE 802.1x and some *yuck* Windows-domain accounts - but at
least no more seperate registration for machines then...)
