Alternatively, you can use other EAP methods with 802.1X, and then you have 
support with Windows XP, software from Funk & Meetinghouse 
Datacommunications, free implementations for Unix systems (www.open1x.org), 
etc.

I'd really recommend using 802.1X rather than LEAP, as the former is a real 
standard, while the second is proprietary (even though not very difficult 
to find and implement). More importantly, 802.1X allows for any EAP method, 
while LEAP can only use the LEAP method, which is more succeptible to 
attacks than others.
