He presented a paper at USENIX called 'Authorization and charging in public WLANs using FreeBSD and 802.1x' (http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix02/tech/freenix/nikander.html). You need to be a member to read it at the moment. He has alpha code up at http://www.tml.hut.fi/~pnr/eapol/. DaveD On Thursday, September 19, 2002, at 10:48 AM, M.
