<P>Hello:</P>
<P>I'm in the process of implementing the 802.1x functionality alongwith the key</P>
<P>handshaking (Pairwise key handshake and the Group handshake). I'm using</P>
<P>the Open1x source code to achieve the same.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I've been able to test the xsupplicant functionality on a linux machine with</P>
<P>Systemonic's WLAN card. I've used Cisco's AP350 as the authenticator and </P>
<P>FreeRadius as the authentication server. Open1x code seems fine till it receives an </P>
<P>EAPOL-Key message. I've been able to get the xsupplicant authenticated, and the </P>
<P>connection looks good (I'm able to ping the Auth server from the xsupplicant). </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Now, I wish to test the authenticator functionality of the Open1x. It seems the </P>
<P>authenticator doesn't have a proper functioning Key transmit state machine as</P>
<P>well as the key receive state machine. My questions are based on the above tests:</P>
<P>1. Can the HostAP code be used in place of the open1x authenticator? What </P>
<P> relation do they have with each other?</P>
<P>2. Does the HostAP support the 4-way pairwise key and the group key handshaking</P>
<P> thereby installing the keys? If no, is there any other freeware to achieve this?</P>
<P>Thanks in advance,<BR>Nikhil.</P><p><br><hr size=1>Do you Yahoo!?<br>
