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?
