See our earlier discussion of LEAP, and in particular, Christian's comments in his response. You may be able to accomplish this from a command line, but it may not be included in the build of the WPA_Supplicant we have. > Am I constrained to live on the darkside when I want to connect to this network? > Possibly, for the short to medium term. Have a look at http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ et seq, particularly the sample conf. Again, our build is based upon version 0.5.7 of the supplicant; the current version is 0.6.9; it's possible that PEAP support was not functional at the time of the port. Good luck, and please report your findings! PS - From your xwlan directory, try running: wpa_supplicant /? | more to get some idea of the command line syntax. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Secure, stable, operating system www.ecomstation.com -------------------------------------------------------------
