<div>Thanks for the reply Jouni,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> oops...i meant to say hostapd and not hostap in my original mail :(</div>
<div>I am using madwifi driver and hostapd to set up an Access Point and </div>
<div>i am using wpa_supplicant and madwifi for the STA.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I am experimenting with some EAP methods. I was wondering if it was possible </div>
<div>to make hostapd authenticate the STA using EAP-TLS (or any other EAP method for that matter) however not encrypt the subsequent data exchanges after successful authentication (i.e. not engage in 4-way hanshake etc.) It should be theoretically
</div>
<div>possible as authentication and confidentiality are two seperate security functions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am bit lost as to is it as easy as changing particular config files (hostapd/wpa_supplicant) </div>
<div>or would it need some code modifications ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks again for your reply</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
