Sure, you just need an 802.1x supplicant (just like you would for any other OS). These are the ones I know of for Linux:

Xsupplicant (OpenSource)
http://open1x.sourceforge.net/

Meetinghouse Aegis client (Commercial Proprietary)

Hi all....

Thanx for all the info. I would certainly like to see your Word doc on the
subject.....


Yet another question.....is there any advantage to using 802.1x + TKIP + MIC
instead of the config you helped me get working?


TIA

Chris.

To add the the WPA confusion, there are actually two types of
authentication within the WPA "standard". There's 802.1x + TKIP + MIC for
enterprises, then there's something called WPA personal that's for home
users or really small businesses that don't have a Radius server.


BTW. I've got an MS-Word doc with screenshots for how to configure XP for
PEAP. I could post it to the list of you'd like?

Errr.. That's because Freeradius doesn't have to. WPA is a combination
of 802.1x authentication, TKIP and MIC. TKIP and MIC need to be
supported by your AP and your client (supplicant), but the radius
server doesn't need to know anything about it.

Hmm... Ok. Now I have to figure out why my XP laptop asks for a "network key" (i.e. wpa), but refuses to authenticate via PEAP.
