I've got a little command-line tool for windows XP that configures the WZC supplicant. It is home-grown. Please e-mail me off-line if you would like to try it. Soon, however, I'll have something that is publicly consumable.

I see a few options, none of which I'm convinced is the way to go. 1) Announce a cutover date, after which Dynamic WEP will cease to work and everyone must use to WPA. Pros: relatively easy config change, clean compatibility cut off Cons: potential for a LOT of help desk work that day/week... 2) Announce a cutover period, where both operate for a time (using Cisco's WEP 128 + TKIP migration mode), after which only using WPA. Pros: Gives people a chance to reconfigure on their own schedule Cons: Mac 10.3 seems unable to connect to APs in this migration mode, but IS fine with just WPA, other clients may also have this problem, not sure what to do with them during the migration period. 3) Deploy a new SSID/VLAN, announce a cutover period, after which shutdown the old one. Pros: Gives people a chance to reconfigure on their own schedule Cons: A LOT more back-end work, I'll miss our current ssid, go (cavalier)s! Has anyone gone down one of these paths? Come up with others? Any WPA compatibility horror stories? -Keith p.s. Switching to a different wireless platform is not an option at this point, I realize this could be easier with <insert vendor here>'s amazing product. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Moores <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Network Systems ITC-Communications and Systems Division University of Virginia, ITC-2015 Ivy Rd Phone (434) 924-0621 Box 400324, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4324 Fax (434) 982-4715 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
