EAP-FAST on Linux

[nabil.netapp]

Greetings all -  We are in the process of piloting eap-fast for mainly WinXP using CSSC, how we also lime to accommodate our Mac and Linux users.  We figured out the steps for Mac, however Linux seems a little an obscured topic with eap-fast.  Any working recommendations for any flavors of Linux out there? I have been reading about Open1x and wa_supplicant, but wanted everyone's feedback on some ideas.  Thank you,  Nabil

Hello Surendra -

Thank you for the link.

Are you aware of any documentation to us this suppilcant with Cisco EAP-FAST?  It appears like a power client, but poorly documented .

Thank you,

Nabil

Surendra and Nabil:

I am also struggling with eap fast, in fact under the wpa_supplicant conf file, it fails with unknown protocol.

epa=FAST

I have the Atheros 5K chipset in the Cisco AIR PCI Cardbus, in Linux Monte Vista.

The examples given by Cisco on-line in the config of most of the eap protocols don't include any wpa_supplicant info on Linux

only MS Windows.  What is the actual text configuration to enable eap FAST?

I have the Cisco ACS 4.1, and Cisco Wireless Controller, version 6.0.
