Using PEAP + Windows XP, default settings, I had absolutely no problems using dynamic WEP + Aironet Wireless 350 (AIR-PCM352). Perhaps there is some kind if issue between the Cisco card and xsupplicant? I have xsupplicant installed on a machine here but I haven't had a chance to play with it, so I can't confirm this.
Pardon my RADIUS newbie wording... "all aspects of authentication" is a bit exclusive, isn't it? What I meant to say, is that I don't understand why a wireless device can't just work at the lowest common denominator, and let the supplicant and the authenticator do all of the communication. I understand that there are driver/firmware issues with cards, but why does it have to be this way? Isn't there just an exchange of EAP info?

It seems logical to me that the well, that can be e.g. a firmware issue of the card. > supplicant would control all aspects of authentication. Obviously > this isn't the case. supplicant??? you mean authenticator, don't you? well, the authenticator does control a lot but if the supplicant is not responding correctly, it does not care. the authenticator is like a bouncer at the disco entry: he wouldn't let you in if you do not know the boss but he does nothing if you are not even trying to come in. ciao artur - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
