Hello, I have freeRadius version 1.0.5 on gentoo Linux (r3). I am using three Linksys WAP54G access points. I've managed to roam seamlessly both with Broadcom and Intel wireless laptops. However, this is true for open APs or with WEP encryption. If I use WPA-Enterprise with a Radius server, there's a long delay when switching between APs (10 seconds). The test environment is as follows: freeRadius.org Gentoo Linux server --- 3 Linksys WAP54G APs configured with WPA-Enterprise w/Radius --- 1 roaming laptop The delay seems to be due to re-authentication with the freeRadius server and that seems to be "expensive". Is there a way of "caching" or "pre-authenticating" or "propagating authentication between APs"? Has anyone found a solution to this roaming problem in case one uses WPA-Enterprise/Radius? Regards, Vieri

hmmm, seriously though: - does anyone know of any APs on the market which support 802.11f? - has anyone ever seen a reasonable non-proprietary definition of the container content for the context transfer? - has anyone ever thought of implementing the support for 802.11f into freeradius? (i know alan hates its double-nested attributes :-) ) - what about the preauthentication definitions in 802.11i? ciao artur On 4 Jan 2006, at 14:07, Zoltan Ori wrote:
