While WPA and WPA2 does provide for data-link encryption, it needs keying material to encrypt the communication. It can use a pre-shared key (PSK) for this purpose, but this has the drawbacks of communicating the key to the user and configuration on the end users part.
So they don't want PSK.
The two downsides of this approach is similar to PSKs, in that you have to have a mechanism to communicate the configuration information, and the configuration is burdensome on the user. I have proposed this solution to hotspot operators whom, after testing, have rejected it as too difficult for the user.
And configuring something that Microsoft calls Zero Configuration is too complicated. Use captive portal then. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
