You are right Sam. I was trying to think of all the things I did to get it working and I did forget the wlan_tkip module that I load at startup. Yes, The main problem I had with the iwi driver was the firmware. Is it possible for someone to MFC the devd.conf changes to support this card? Once you let devd handle the firmware then dhclient works a lot better for roaming. ---- Kirk -----Original Message----- From: Sam Leffler [mailto:sam@errno.com] Sent: July 26, 2005 10:57 AM To: Kirk Davis Cc: 'Brandon S.

You've enabled EAPOL protocol support which is necessary for using 802.1x to communicate with a back-end server such as FreeRADIUS. I suspect the key thing is to get the necessary firwmare support in the card. Sam
