For the built-in supplicant in XP/Vista: it generally sucks. There is the new "Wireless Native API" that is supposed to allow scripted auto-setups of 802.1X settings for an SSID, but we haven't tested if that's really practical. If you can find a student to code on that API, please go ahead :-)
It's actually not that bad... The main difficulty is that Vista doesn't work like XP. And if a certain magic service isn't running, the API "succeeds", but doesn't do anything. And if there's another connection manager running (e.g. intel, dell, etc.), then the API "succeeds", but doesn't do anything. Just normal practice for Windows. But when the stars align, *wow*, it's sometimes useful! Alan DeKok.
