    I will be attending college in a few weeks. The network at this uni requires
    802.1x authentication over wireless connections. I've scoured google all
    over and discovered Open1x--which has openly dropped all BSD support--and a
    guy who has ported Open1x, but only on wired connections. I'm a decent
    programmer in some regards, but not so much C/system code, so it's not like
    I could just make the neccesary adjustments and recompile. :)

    Is 802.1x supported on FreeBSD yet? I know I can build open1x on a Linux
    box, but that is my ABSOLUTE LATE resort. I really want to keep using
    FreeBSD, but if I can't access the school's network I won't be able to
    continue doing so.

    What's the status of this in FreeBSD, including the upcoming 5.3? Am I just
    out of luck?

    Regards,
