Hi, Just in case somebody is interested to help, I am implementing IEEE 802.1x standard for FreeBSD as a netgraph module. For those that don't happen to know, 802.1x (aka EAPOL) is an Ethernet level protocol for authenticating users very much in the same way PPP authentication is performed. Microsoft has included an implementation in Windows XP, and there are a number of vendors that have implemented it for their Ethernet switches or WLAN base stations. A very early alpha, resulting from a few days hacking, is available at http://www.tml.hut.fi/~pnr/eapol/. So far it includes only client side functionality, but it has been tested to be able to send the EAPOL START and LOGOFF messages. No documentation yet, sorry. RTFS. --Pekka Nikander To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
