  Please, don't think you're smarter than people with decades more
experience than you.  It's not polite.

  Follow the instructions in the web page.  Why?  Because they work.

  If you get rid of ntlm_auth, then your users won't be able to
authenticate using 802.1X.

  No.  Follow the web page.

  If you're not going to follow instructions, then there's no point in
asking questions on this list.

  It's possible.  But it won't work for you.  So don't do it.

  It's dead simple.  Follow the web page.  It has step by step
instructions for how to get it to work.  The instructions are correct.
Anyone who knows how to use a text editor can follow them.

  The point of documentation is so non-experts can get things done.  If
you're going to ignore the documentation, then you're on your own.
