Question: Iliad WiFi connection with 802.1x pre-authentication?

obijoe · 10-22-2007, 07:40 AM

I have been trying to connect my Iliad to the office WiFi network, but our IT people have informed that it would need to support the 802.1x pre-authentication - which uses a certificate and authentication with a radius server.

Does anyone here know if the Iliad is capable of this, or failing that, how this functionality could be added? Even just a general hint would be useful, help me get a place to start.

Thanks in advance,

Jose.

I don't think RADIUS authentication is a go on the iLiad. I have WPA working great at home, but no RADIUS server here to test with. I'm pretty sure that the iLiad's latest firmware docs would mention if RADIUS authentication were available, since that'd be another wi-fi feature "feather" in the iLiad's "cap".

As to how the functionality could be added, that's a question for the iLiad developers, for sure.
