OT: 802.1x CPE device with _wired_ supplicant support
Sorry for the OT. My alibi is that the device will authenticate through a switch and Freeradius. :-) I'm looking for a cheap 802.1x CPE device ("broadband router" like, you know, with a 4-port embedded switch, wan-port and wireless support) which can be an 802.1x supplicant on the wired WAN port. It's seems such devices are hard to find, and I'm surprised as to why the usual broadband router manufacturers don't implement this. Any suggestions on where to find / what devices to use? Thanks in advance. -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard@svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]

You should probably wonder over to the OpenWRT website and find some suitable hardware there.

How many ISP's do you know use 802.1X to authenticate their userbase? We have enough trouble trying to get to to work right on a LAN... Cheers -- Alexander Clouter .sigmonster says: COBOL is for morons. -- E. W. Dijkstra
