I'm not trying to offend anyone by bumping this, but I'm actually pretty desperate to know what the status is. 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?
