Thanks for the response! I have checked out: http://www.booches.nl/2008/06/mac-authentication-bypass-continued/ http://wiki.freeradius.org/Mac-Auth To get a bit of an idea of what awaits and how things fit together..... Basically it seems that I need to be running 802.1x as MAB according to the articles is: Mac-based authentication which needs 802.1x to function?? Or did I misunderstand?
