Msft is still working on the 802.1x supplicants for Win95, Win98 (+SE), WinME, and Win2K. They support
EAP-TLS and PEAP.
If you know where to gain access to beta code, they're available now. I expect they'll be released ... soon.

Hi,
There are commercial 802.1X clients from Meetinghouse Datacommunications (www.mtghouse.com) and Funk Software > (www.funk.com).
As far as I know, there are no free ones (MS said a while ago they would provide one for W2K, but it seems that was abandoned since). I'm working on a free version (which should even become open-source), but I haven't had much time recently to work on it. I cannot release the sources right now because the NDIS protocol driver bit is strongly derived from MS examples, and is as such copyrighted material, but once I have rewritten that bit (which actually needs some significant changes anyway to add buffering and such), I'll gladly publish the sources so that everyone can help!
Just FYI, it has:
- NDIS protocol driver to bind to the interfaces (Ethernet and WLAN)
- built-in support for EAP-MD5 and EAP-SRP
- preliminary support for dynamic keying, but still having issues with it (the NDIS 5.1 interface)
- user interface to ask for username/password
- installer (using ghost installer)
- compilable with Cygwin gcc, but does not require Cygwin
To add:
- EAP-TLS, PEAP, EAP-MsCHAPv2...
- support for external EAP modules (either � la Windows, or with a better standardized interface to define)
- full NDIS 5.1 wireless configuration (� la XP Wireless Zero Config): this is needed because some drivers don't support having some bits set via NDIS and some others set via their own configuration interface (e.g. cisco), some others have a problem with mixed cells (e.g. orinoco), etc.
- Better UI (systray icon to show status, choice of validity of credentials, etc.)
- support for other Windows versions (95/98/Me/NT4)
and much more...
I hope to be able to have something that can be released within a month or two, but time is running short these days... :-(
Jacques.
