That meant that not only Apple's Airport was not supported but
neither were
intel's Centrino and other brand wireless cards. It sucked frankly.\
Wow... I am surprised that they even bother with encryption at the
wireless level. Normally is just creates unneeded overhead on the
access points.
After doing some extensive research on the matter, it seems that the
best way is to stick the wireless network OUTSIDE your firewall, then
use VPN tunnels to get further access. That way, your not loading up
your access points and you can support any wireless client.
Then again I'm not a CCNA, so what do I know.
