Hi All, I am successfully running my home wireless network with Freeradius server using EAP-TLS. The setup process is not difficult at all thank to Raymond McKay. Raymond has written a very detailed instruction on how to setup Wireless LAN using Freeradius server in conjunction with EAP-TLS. You can learn this by visiting this website (Raymond, I am shamelessly promoting your website): http://www.impossiblereflex.com/8021x/eap-tls-HOWTO.htm
By the way, I am using Cisco AP-340 running version 12.00T in constrast to Raymond's Orinoco-2000. The AP-340 does support EAP-TLS (and Cisco LEAP ofcourse however, I don't have money to buy Cisco Access Control Server [ACS]). All in all, everything is running great and I have Raymond to thank for it.
