While I haven't tried LEAP personally with this card, the "help" file that comes with 3Com's 3CRWE62092B 11mbps Wireless LAN PC Card with XJACK antenna v2.1 software (recently released on the 3Com website) show this as a security mode capable by the card:
Light EAP Encryption (Full Version Only). A Lightweight Extended Authentication Protocol for wireless security that is a proprietary password-based implementation from Cisco. According to the help file, full version only means only available on the 3CRWE62092B, not on any other less-than-fully-featured 3Com cards (like the AirConnect or OfficeConnect brands). More information on the card can be found here: http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=features&sku=3CRWE62092B&p athtype=purchase CDW has 'em for $99. Jared Valentine [EMAIL PROTECTED] By the way, here are the other security options available on this card with v2.1 drivers: 128-bit DSL 3Com-proprietary dynamic security link encryption (dynamic security link) (Full Version Only). Provides the highest level of DSL security to protect your data. DSL encryption is used with an access point and prompts for a user name and password, which must match the user name and password set up by the network administrator on the access point. The key is issued automatically, so entering a key is never required. 128-bit DSL security is proprietary to 3Com, and is available only on specific 3Com access points, such as the 3Com Access Point 8000. NOTE: Selecting DSL will only use Shared Authentication. 3Com Serial Authentication (Full Version Only). 3Com Serial Authentication provides an upper-layer authentication mechanism that uses both EAP-TLS and EAP-MD5 and requires a serial authentication access point, such as the 3Com Access Point 8000. NOTE: For additional system settings used by Serial Authentication see the information on Serial Authentication Settings. Smart Card or other Certificate (EAP-TLS) (Full Version Only). Provides Extended Authentication Protocol for encapsulating Transport Layer Security to a backend authentication (RADIUS) server. The TLS handshake enables certificate based mutual authentication and subsequent key generation for the encryption of all data packets. NOTE: Support is included by Microsoft in Windows XP. If EAP-TLS is not available for you to select you will need to contact Microsoft for EAP-TLS support on your version of Windows. Protected EAP (PEAP) (Full Version Only). PEAP is designed to be a protection mechanism for EAP communication between an EAP client and an EAP authenticator. The PEAP mechanism uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to create an end-to-end (EAP Client to EAP-Authenticator) encrypted channel after verifying the identity of the Authenticator, such as RADIUS server. The EAP protocol packets are exchanged over this encrypted channel. NOTE: Support is included by Microsoft in Windows XP Service Pack 1. If PEAP is not available to select you will need to contact Microsoft for PEAP support on your version of Windows. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 9:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BAWUG] LEAP authentication Is it possible for non- cisco & apple airport cards to authenticate via LEAP? Most of the information that I have found suggests that only Airport and Cisco cards can authenticate via LEAP technology. Does anyone have any information that would suggest otherwise?
