<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,<BR>first of all, congrads to the
developpers of hostapd.<BR>The code is well written, relatively easy to
understand.... <BR>again, congrads !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I could manage to get the xsupplicant, hostapd
wired and freeradius to work<BR>properly in a wired configuration : the
supplicant runs on a Debian, hostapd<BR>runs on another Debian that has 3
Ethernet NICs (no wireless at all).<BR>Freeradius runs on a Redhat
9.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The supplicant authenticates well with EAP-MD5.
hostapd returns<BR>"Authenticated !" to the supplicant, everything's fine....
but.... Damn !<BR>There's a "but" :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My pb is that the Supplicant can always ping the IP
of the NIC on which it<BR>is attached on the Authenticator that runs hostapd....
Seems like the NIC is<BR>always in the authorized state in the way it does not
discard the frames<BR>that the supplicant sends when not authenticated
yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The setup :</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David.<BR>Note: Had to modify a few things...
especially the EAPOL_VERSION was set to 2. <BR>The xsupplicant (open1x) and the
Odyssey (Funk) supplicants did not <BR>like it at all, so I switched it back to
1.</FONT></DIV>
