Re: [MEXT] Well-known problem with authentication/etc. in wireless networks

FWIW, I agree 100% with Julien.
First, access authentication and HA auth are two completely different
issues for different purposes. Second, I don't think MIPv6 is not deployed
because it adds a one-off SA setup with the HA. I wish that was the
reason.
