I see that there is basic EAP Over LAN (EAPOL) support in iPXE. Anyone working on adding EAP authentication methods such as EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-PEAP, etc? It would be great if this support was available. We currently use gPXE to bootstrap our LANDesk PXE boot menu which is provided by DHCP options and provide additional boot options to client. But we are moving from open data ports to secure 802.1x enabled ports where we can't enable any sort of open access which would allow this to still function. Typically you could use MAC based authentication at the switchport to get PXE functionality working on a dot1x port (ie: allow the client on the network), but we are unable to do that the way we are configured. It would be nice if iPXE had even basic EAP-MD5 support which would allow PXE clients to authenticate to the switchport and load our imaging software over the network. I'm willing to test if someone is working on building this support in!
