Hi Folks. I should have made this disclosure before - sorry. I am a
reporter for the SFSU xpress. I was nominated the *technology* columnist
because I have an interest in technology (I am working for O'Reilly &
Associates as a marketing manager for their conferences division, you
know the Open Source Convention, The Emerging Technology Convention,
etc.), and well, because I was the only one who knew what a weblog was
(and participated in blogging).

So my next column is going to be on wireless and I'll be damned if I
couldn't get on line in the quad at SFSU. I spoke with the IT VP, who is
a very nice man, but directed me to his fingerlings for the details.
Well the fingerlings did not want to be too helpful (the manager
wouldn't talk to me directly). So, I was left with email to Rob
Flickenger (who never emails me back) or other sources - you guys.

Thanks for all the information. Does anyone have a problem with me
referenceing the information in this thread, or accrediting your words,
e.g., "said Greg DesBrisay of ieee.org"? Does anyone have a problem with
me continuing to ask these newbie questions?

Lemme know ASAP. If I don't hear from you guys I wont use your names,
just the info.

Thanks,

M2

PS - Why haven't I called O'Reilly's Schuyler Earle yet (NoCat - Sonoma
County community wireless - I live in Petaluma)? DOH!

Subject: [BAWUG] LEAP technology discussion

Hi Folks. I'm a relative newbie to wireless, so sorry if I break the
wietiquette. At SFSU they have a wlan that appears to be cisco driven
access points, which wont allow my orinoco mini card access to the wlan.
The campus IT department says the only cards that will work are ones
that use LEAP technology. Is there a work around for this, or am I stuck
having to buy a cisco card for my gateway pc, or buying an ibook?

Thanks,

M2

M2,

Until 802.11i is approved as an IEEE standard, everybody's security
implementations are going to be a bit different.  So as far as I know,
only Cisco NICs work with Cisco APs that use Cisco's LEAP
implementation.  That's supposed to change once the standard is approved
and an upgrade is expected to be available via firmware upload (for
Cisco gear that is).

Currently non-Cisco NICs can be used with Cisco APs, but only when LEAP
is turned off, or if mixed-access (LEAP and non-LEAP devices together)
is allowed (but that defeats the purpose of LEAP of course!).


Here's the status of 802.11i according to the IEEE's Standards web site
(http://standards.ieee.org/802news/802nov2002.html):

        "Security Draft IEEE 802.11i Moves to Second WG Ballot
The IEEE 802.11i Task Group, working on security enhancements for IEEE
802.11, successfully resolved all comments from its recent WG Ballot.
The standard will now be forwarded for a second WG Ballot. Once
approved, it will significantly enhance the security of IEEE 802.11
wireless LANs through new encryption and authentication methods."


Regards,

Greg DesBrisay

Hi.  I've just been looking at wireless bandwidth shaping myself.  Why
would you want to go Linux when Station-Server is only $30 - $60 and
would run on the same hardware and offers internal wireless support?

I don't have a whole lot of experience with either, but I do have a SS
online with (I think) very good results.  Of course, I've never had a
Linux
machine doing any wireless or bandwidth shaping to compare it to.

Uhm, opportunity to tune the image to be exactly what you want,
free, chance to see how it works, lots more flexibility in what
you can accomplish...  in short, open source vs. closed source.

Agreed. From what I understand about the SFSU wireless implemetation,
the University level support had to choose a secure type of
authentication for their wireless network.  They did not want to supply
Park Merced and the surrounding areas with free or easily breakable
wireless.  There were some options available (hi Sameer!) but in the
end, the CSU has an aggresive pricing agreement with Cisco and the Cisco
product DID fit the bill.  Until the industry regulates itself, there
will be compromises to be made.  That said, SFSU is not even close to
the only .edu to go with Cisco's LEAP authentication.  Google it and you
will see.  From speaking with workers at SFSU they fully intend to
implement 802.11i once it is standardized.  They wanted /A/ wireless
network and they decided to choose LEAP.

A few cards support cisco LEAP out of the box without third party
supplicants (i havnt gotten any supplicants to work).
*Cisco 340 & 350 cards of all formats (pcmcia, pci, minipci ...)
*Xircom CWE1130-NA (these were discontinued after Intel bought Xircom) 
These cards are actually relabeled Cisco 340 cards (even says it on the
card)
*3COM 3CRWE62092B cards with Xjack antennae.  These support LEAP (thanks
again Jared) and have a neat retractable antenna
*Apple Airport 802.11b
*Apple Airport Extreme
*Apple Airport Base stations also support LEAP, however I have not
played with this feature.

It is a technological solution, but not an organizational one. It did 
fit the bill, but the bill is WRONG.

We'd have to wait for 802.11i to standardize. Then we'd have to wait for 
ALL vendors to provide firmware upgrades. Then we'll have to wait for 
ALL vendors to provide us with client side stuff. 3G (or maybe 4G) will 
be here by then (2010).

The idea for an organizational solution at a university is to support 
ALL cards that support Wi-Fi. A university cannot/does not dictate its 
students to buy a particular brand of Wi-Fi. It is kinda like saying 
"Please drive to SFSU and park there only if you drive a Yugo".

The name's registration is separate from the company
you registered it with - in other words, a .COM name
is registered in the ICANN Registry, and it shouldn't
matter who helped you register it at the time.

Now, this is assuming that the name was registered
for at least two years and hasn't expired by now, and
this is assuming that the company that helped you
register it didn't just put their information on the name
instead of yours.  In short, you should be able to renew
the name and/or point the DNS servers wherever you
want them to go.

No, I bought my Sony used...didnt have the luxury of purchasing a new
laptop at the time (nor would work ever supply me with one).  It is too
bad that my Senao that I bought from surf n' sip doesnt work... I bought
the Cisco afterward.

As of one year ago, none of the 30,000+ students, staff and faculty had
wireless access except those that knew people with 'experimental'
networks.

The standards for 802.11g havnt been written, but it will be hard to
find a 'b' only card in 12 months.  There is a saying about those that
are early adopters to technology... they dont mind living on the
/bleeding/ edge.  802.11i products will ship well before the standards
solidify.  CAT6 took for ever to ratify, the market came in with CAT5e
and CAT5e+.  NO ONE in the pc or open source world even thought about
802.11b seriously when Apple/(Lucent) released their Airport sooooo many
years ago.  Like USB it would have sat in the duldrums for years if it
hadnt been for Apples marketing.  Apple is also smart that it knows the
education market is important.  A large portion of universities that
have WiFi also use LEAP.  They updated their firmware to support these
customers. Remeber that there is little difference between Airport cards
and their siblings made by Agere (or Lucent, Orinocco, or if they have
changed their name sagain let me know please ;) ).  One could argue that
a lobby for secure authentication to be built in to a WiFi card would be
a more productive use of energy, but I wont argue that.  Most users of
WiFi do NOT know the difference between authentication and encryption.

Forgot to mention some Dells are/were shipping with Cisco cards in them.
They disguise their relabled cards as TrueMobile so it is hard to tell
which ones are Cisco.

Remember, the purpose of a university is to be a place of education.  It
is not an ISP.  WiFi is a luxury, not a form of necessary
transportation.  On a campus with multiple computer labs per building
that are open to any university student, staff or faculty the argument
of /need/ is a bit weak.  We both have been playing with this technology
for a while, and my biggest push is out of geeky delight. To argue that
WiFi is a necessary part of my education is a bit much.  It is certainly
convienient.  Now, if either of us wanted to drive our cars (which we
both have the luxury of not having to) to the campus, we would have to
/buy/ a parking permit for the day.  This cost is much higher for one
semester of parking than one WiFi card is that will last 4+ years of
education.  Sure, you can park a few blocks away for free, but you will
have to move your car every hour or so.  Most classes are 1 hour+.  Good
luck going a semester without a parking ticket.  A student can go to the
