I think even the FreeBSD driver has support for LEAP (LEAP is done in the
firmware, and there are some special ancontrol/ifconfig commands to
communicate the username and password to the card). And LEAP is very
different from "real" IEEE 802.1X, since it actually happens at the 802.11
level (during auth) rather than on top of it (and uses a fixed
authentication method rather than being extensible, I believe).
I would be surprised if it was enabled if you didn't do anything though, so
I'd rather think it's a firmware issue (old versions of the firmware are
even known to "hang" other APs...).
Jacques.
