Hi Artur,


Thanks for taking the time to put these replies together and for trawling through the documentation as well.

So, as I understand it:

1. Wi-Fi Alliance certified Access Points will very shortly be required to be WPA-capable.

2. You will be able to turn WPA on or off (at least initially).

3. When WPA is turned on, there will be two modes available:
i) Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode for Home/Soho use with no RADIUS server.
ii) RADIUS mode with EAP.

I can't see from the literature if being able to do *both* of these modes is mandatory, or if there will be APs shipping with just the first one for the SoHo market. What's your impression?

Either way, it's good news for freeradius, right? If both WPA modes are on all APs, then you will be able to point any Wi-Fi certified AP at Freeradius and use EAP to authenticate.

Thanks,

Ian
