It was working with 802.11b without dynamic WEP keying<br>

Dynamic WEP keying requires IEEE 802.1X. The attached hostapd.conf does
not have it enabled. You will need to set ieee8021x=1 and configure
RADIUS server for IEEE 802.1X use (auth_server_* in hostapd.conf).

Ok, I read something about 802.1X, and this involves the EAP protocol
and a Radius server.<br>
I understand the basic principle of a radius server because I have
encountered this earlier <br>
(at work). However, I don't know exactly how to set this up.<br>
<br>
Right now I am using iwconfig to specify the key. <br>
<br>
Where can I find information on setting up a radius server for 802.1X? <br>
