Open1X open source 802.1X WPA WPA2 IEEE802.11i
The Open1X project is dedicated to bringing a free, open source 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/IEEE802.11i implementation to as many target platforms as possible. [...]
IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X [...] provides authentication to devices attached to a LAN port, establishing a point-to-point connection or preventing access from that port if authentication fails. It is used for certain closed wireless access points, and is based on the EAP, Extensible Authentication Protocol.
[...]
Some vendors are implementing 802.1X for wireless access points, to be used in certain situations where an access point needs to be operated as a closed access point, addressing the security vulnerabilities of WEP (see 802.11i). The authentication is usually done by a third-party entity, such as a RADIUS server.
