I am faced with the challenge to secure access to a WLAN beyond the WEP crap. In fact, what we would like to institute is a login-based method in which users have to authenticate with the gateway before being given access. The solution must allow for encryption of the channel and be compatible/usable with Windows, even without admin rights. PPPoE comes to mind. However, for encryption, it requires MPPE patches on all non-Windows hosts. Moreover, I cannot get it to work anyway[0]. 0. http://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2005/03/msg00033.html Thus I am interested in how people approach this challenge. Short of IPsec (which is not trivially enabled on Linux and Windows clients alike), what other means are there to fulfill the aforementioned requirements? -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
