hi there, ping me offline and i can direct you to folks who have a (hw) solution which not only secures wlans but also does a good job protecting your overall backbone security.

Until WPA (Wireless Protected Access) from the WiFi alliance comes to life next year, I realised that WEP is the only air-side Layer 2 (crackeable) encryption protocol. This lack of security requires other upper-layer protocols to do this job such as IPSec or VPN implementations. Those solutions seem to be not very scalable indeed. I would like to know which kind of implementations are the most preferred and desirable for you. Is there anyone managing any secure deployment similar? I have heard a little bit about Cisco vendor implementation (LEAP) but I suppose it only works with both APs and client cards from Cisco. Authentication is a first step, 802.1x could help us to authenticate users and establish a secure VLAN-based traffic, but it is not a solution for air-side sniffing and spoofing. Is IPSec or VPN the only solution? If anyone has any documentation or slides about LEAP, 802.1x either wireless secure deployments, they will be appreciated.
