Re: How Is Host AP Mode Going ?

FYI, a Pekka Nikander has done some work on 802.1x and netgraph.  He 
presented a paper at USENIX called 'Authorization and charging in 
public WLANs using FreeBSD and 802.1x' 
(http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix02/tech/freenix/nikander.html).  
You need to be a member to read it at the moment.  He has alpha code up 
at http://www.tml.hut.fi/~pnr/eapol/.
