Mike: Ah, now I see what you're talking about!
They are related, but not the same. Can you have take advantage of the WPS IE frames (i.e.: one broadcast frame about multiple SSIDs) in Windows XP without the backend?

I'm pretty familiar with the concepts behind WPS, but I was *not* aware of the WPS IE. Given the article title, I assume that's only available when using WPA2, which is not widely deployed yet. This looks to be very useful in the future. What I (and I assume a lot of others) think of when I think of WPS is the Microsoft extension to PEAP that allows for provisioning of account information and the client connection settings. Currently, as far as I know, it is only actually implemented in IAS. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg1203.mspx --Mike On Jul 10, 2006, at 8:33 PM, Frank Bulk wrote: > Michael: > > I plead my ignorance here: what does WPS IE support have to do with > RADIUS > servers?
