> Now it my well be that the slide is a bit old and just hasn't been updated but it does beg the question have any people using Freeradius with Aruba kit experienced any funnies that needed a specific set of "tweaking" for Aruba? I really can't imaging that it would be the case, but just thought I'd check.
