We basically let users know any card they purchase has to be capable of 128-bit WEP encryption.
We provide users assistance via email for setting up there wireless (which has been very successful so far)... The majority of users that are getting online are using XP which helps a lot if they are using a card compatible with XP Wireless Configuration... If not, we usually point them to the vendors instructions on getting it setup... It's suprisingly working pretty well, though this is the first year of deployment... We do recommend the Cisco card (as it's easy to configure) but the majority of users purchase something else (being in a city near Best Buy has it's advantages and disadvantages) Nicola Foggi Networks and Telecom DePaul University >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/21/02 04:14PM >>> Frankly, I am amazed at some of these responses! How are so many of you able to get away with 128 bit encryption? 128 bit is very vendor specific/proprietary and our faculty and students would riot and hang us all if they thought we were dictating to them what they HAD to buy? How are you guys getting away with this? ;-) > ---------- > From: Nicola Foggi > Reply To: 802.11 wireless issues listserv > Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 3:24 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Survey > > Q: Do you use WEP and if so what level of encryption? > A: 128-bit > > Q: Do you use a Radius server or another means of authentication? > A: We use a netreg type system > > Q: Do you use DHCP and if so is it open or reserved? > A: Yes we use DHCP via a NetReg type system > > Q: Do charge a fee for wireless access and if so how much? > A: Nope.. > > Q: Which vendor did you select for your wireless infrastructure? > A: Cisco AP 350 currently... waiting for 802.11g to be finialized... > > http://wireless.depaul.edu > > ********** > Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/. > > ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/.
