  It's also correct.

  The whole purpose of certificates is to validate identity.  Why
would you hand out certificates to machines which you haven't
validated?

  It can't be done, and even if it could be done, it would be wrong.

  The server can hand out *temporary* keys for WEP.  LEAP does that.
But it does not, and will not, ever hand out identity to clients.
