I thought there might be a wireless driver piece that needed to be<br>
addressed. I gave the PEAP trac item to Michail for comment.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Considering:<br>

<br>
This would be possible and I am willing to put time in this.<br>
<br>
If needed, I could put some effort to put it in firmware (tinybsd) for<br>
any i386 mobo/embedded system.<br>
<br>
The XS could to radius (and optinally config AP's with ssh/or/puppet)<br>
