APs to support 802.1x I am currently wondering what this would imply. Especially: Would this result in a limitation of who would be allowed to access, administrate or update the router/firmware? Afaik in eduroam setups the 802.1x authenticator is run on the wifi router. Therefore the wifi router needs its own set of cryptographic keys which it may not share publically and data will be encrypted between client device and wifi router only. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Technically, I think it might be possible to move the 802.1x authenticator out of a wifi/mesh router to some remote server and having the encrypted tunnel between client device and this server. But at least hostapd is not able to do this right now as far as I know (and I'm wondering whether EAPOL would start to have issues due to the extra delay). Sorry for these specific, technical questions at this early point. But I'm trying to get a picture of how, if at all, running Wifi4EU and Freifunk on the same mesh node were technically doable.
