Hi,
Short update on this one for the interest of people on the list.
Browsing around on the Linksys site turned up a set of beta drivers for the WPC54G PCMCIA card, with release notes indicating that these should be tried by users, running the card on laptops with Texas Instruments cardbus controllers, experiencing WPA / 802.1x authentication problems.
A quick peek at the laptop, a Compaq Armada M700, and it is running a Texas Instruments PCI-1450 Cardbus Controller. Loaded the new drivers, and unfortunately no improvement.
However, seeing my girlfriend's laptop (Dell Latitude CPi D300XT running Win2K Pro SP4) not doing anything, I thought I'd check out how it worked with WPA. Loaded the Funk Odyssey client, installed the WPC54G card, and started the client. Worked first time!
So, I can confirm (which the people who responded already did) that WPA does indeed work and that pointing a WPA-capable AP at FreeRADIUS works just great!
Thanks everyone for all the feedback,
Ian

Hi Guy (and others who replied to the original thread),
I've read the responses to this and to the TLS/TTLS thread... tried to find somewhere in the Funk client where I might be able to control some kind of reauthentication interval (there's a setting on the AP), but no luck there unfortunately.
Anyway, it still doesn't answer the question... has anyone managed to get a "WPA-capable" AP (not just one which says it does 802.1x) running in a WPA+RADIUS setting with TKIP, authenticating against FreeRADIUS? We certainly haven't (can't get it to run with AES either), and we're not really sure why.... Given that WPA is "the 802.11 security protocol suite of the future", I guess it might be quite important.... regardless of which EAP flavour is used... ;-)
Thanks,
Ian
