Surely I'm not the only person to need 802.1x authentication over wireless on a FreeBSD box? :) Anyways, again, sorry for the bumpage, but I have another complete day off and if I can find out that FreeBSD doesn't support it yet, I'm going to try and spend this time finding an alternative solution. If, however, support will be added soon, I won't reformat and I'll just go without net access for a while at school. Regards... (original message below, sent about 15hrs ago) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will be attending college in a few weeks. The network at this uni requires 802.1x authentication over wireless connections. I've scoured google all over and discovered Open1x--which has openly dropped all BSD support --and a guy who has ported Open1x, but only on wired connections. I'm a decent programmer in some regards, but not so much C/system code, so it's not like I could just make the neccesary adjustments and recompile. :) Is 802.1x supported on FreeBSD yet? I know I can build open1x on a Linux box, but that is my ABSOLUTE LATE resort. I really want to keep using FreeBSD, but if I can't access the school's network I won't be able to continue doing so. What's the status of this in FreeBSD, including the upcoming 5.3? Am I just out of luck?
