> And WEP + EAP please? This has been requested occasionally. It would help if you could come up with some kind of examples where this is needed. That they I could show that there's really a need for this. Technically there's no point of supporting 802.1x with WEP encryption, because TKIP is already widely supported.
Many wireless networks in the US, for some reason universities in particular, ONLY allow connections using WEP + EAP (usually PEAP in my experience). One example is Texas Tech University ( http://www.ttu.edu ), which requires all wireless devices to use WEP+PEAP, no exceptions. (Yes I've argued with them about their implementation, yes I've requested either WPA or EAPless access for devices that don't expect that particular kludge, ...) While there may technically not be a reason to use it, many access providers are using it regardless, and, particularly for college campuses, which tend to be so large that other access points are unavailable, it would be nice not to be in a wifi blackout. -- It doesn't take a nukular scientist to pronounce foilage! --Marge Simpson http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.html _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
