Hi Bob, Thanks for the answer. I have another query. If the station & AP are both configured for WPA-PSK, can we do authentication?? If so how?? (Can we enforce EAP-MD5 Authentication) and then enforce Key-Negotiation using WPA-PSK 4-way handshaking??
Pls clarify me. thanks in advance. --- Bob O'Hara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Actually, the answer is yes, you can support dynamic > WEP keys without an > EAP authentication method.
