Martin, Wad,<br>We have promised to provide NYC with a schedule for the item you mention, Martin, trac #6855, as well as support for PEAP. trac #6900. I have told them that PEAP was a 2009 feature (mainly because I wanted to discourage them), but they have asked if we can pull it in. <br>
<br>So the next step on these two items is to figure out the development and test effort associated with these two features. It would be great if people could add their thoughts into those trac bugs as to what work is needed.<br>
<br>After we have that, we can weigh that against other priorities and come up with which release to put these in.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Kim<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 8:58 AM, Martin Langhoff <<a href="mailto:martin.langhoff@gmail.com">martin.langhoff@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>When at NYC, you mentioned that the NM searches and prefers the<br>
school-mesh-<n> essids of mesh-type signals. And that perhaps we could<br>
make it lock into infrastructure-mode essids of that name with the<br>
same kind of preference. Would this simple fix help sort the problem<br>
out?<br>
<br>
Also, do we have wikipage of tested APs?<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
