Hi, Julian...

I need on occasion to connect to a network using WPA2 AES and IEEE authentication.

  
That would be IEEE 802.1x authentication?
I find that XWLAN lets me specify WPA2/PSK and enter a preshared key. Am I correct in assuming that there is
no way to use what it calls for - including PEAP and specifying a login (userid and PW).

  
Ah, PEAP. 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.
