There doesn't appear to be a searchable mailing list archive or a wiki, so I am forced to ask a question here that has possibly been asked a thousand times: Is there a way to put an SMC 2802 PCI card into AP mode with 802.1x frames sent to a local RADIUS server doing EAP/TLS authentication (in this case, freeradius)? I currently have everything working with a Netgear MA311 802.11b PCI card running in HostAP mode, but the desire to view live TV on my laptop with MythTV has forced me up to 802.11g; at the same time, I've had bad experiences with hardware AP's (e.g., I bought a Linksys that claimed to have RADIUS authentication support, but I could never get it to successfully contact my freeradius server), so I'd prefer to stick with a Linux-based AP. As a slight aside, I'm guessing this whole setup (with rotating WEP keys and all) is now called "WPA". Is this a correct assumption? Cheers, Kyle
