Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ID Engines, 802.1x Supplicant Configuration

Lee,
        We've had good experience with the Id Engines 802.1X installer. 
Initially we couldn't find an installer that would do 100% of the 802.1X

configuration so we wrote our own that created the 802.1X wireless SSID,

configured encryption, server certificates, and MSCHAP properties.
However that 
was hard to support as new 3rd party supplicants came out. Our testing
showed 
that the Id Engine's performed as well as our installer and included
Macintosh 
support. It seems to work most of the time and they are really good
about fixing 
problems as soon you find them. So far they are the only solution that
does 100% 
of the configuration and I'd highly recommend them.
