Here at Williams we wrote an in-house solution based on the Native WiFi

is doing the job well so far. If anybody wants to see the source code,

this solution is that it deletes saved credentials and sets up the
802.1X network for the user. Also, since it's based on Microsoft's
provided API, it's likely to continue working for a while. It works on
XP SP2 with the Wireless LAN API up.

It'd also be very useful if it could be released under one of the open
source licenses like GPLv3. Then we can include it in our own projects
without legal ramifications.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] configuration script

[Lee H Badman]

For what it's worth, we did write our own as well in the early stages of what 
turned out to be a pretty painless 802.1x rollout. We did find that despite 
having a "mostly effective" script to pass out, the Xpress Connect service (ID 
Engines at that time) was more complete, and addressed the "moving target" 
aspects of supporting a wide variety of Macs and various Windows flavors than 
we could without spending significantly more time on ongoing refinements.

Personally, I'm still of partial mind (hold your snickers)that teaching people 
how to do the handful of steps required to configure a supplicant has a lot of 
merit, as opposed to automating it. The one big gain- many wireless utilities 
are more robust than the weenie version that is native to Windows. If people 
understand the handful of basic parameters needed, they can populate their 
preferred utility/supplicant and off they go. But for automating the process, 
you are locked into the Windows native client/supplicant.

But then again, I'm not on the helpdesk, either:)
