WPA, 802.1x authentication, etc. requires a few things in addition to the driver. Check out http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ for more info on that. > Are you using IPSec now?

However, when FreeS/WAN shut down due to political reasons, I started looking into OpenS/WAN http://www.openswan.org/. I was impressed by the rapid development on the project. It has developed much faster then FS did because it isn't encumbered by the political and ideological issues that FS had. There is also a better effort for client interop. HTH, Kenny -- Kenneth E.
