Can LEAP work with non-Cisco Devices?

[d.beaver]

I have a client that is using two devices on his network that have built-in wireless cards and wants to look at ACS as a security solution in his network.

The devices are the Compaq IPAQ h4000 with Pocket PC 2003. The other is a Compaq Portege M200 with Windows XP Pro. I am not sure of the wireless chipsets as I haven't researched deep enough for that information.

I question really resides around the need to know if LEAP will work with a Non-Cisco device and if so, how? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I no nothing specific about the wireless chipsets in the devices you mentioned but ...

they may work if they have CCX aka "Cisco Compatible Extensions Program for wireless LAN devices" drivers.

See the following links for more info:

Some manufacturers provide LEAP support in their standard driver; Meetinghouse (mtghouse.com) sells third-party client software that will support LEAP for many of the other cases.

LEAP support is not built into either PocketPC or Windows XP, so you'll need to check with the manufacturer of your wireless adapter to see what they offer.
