 included in the kernel driver: using external RADIUS authentication

 Authenticator and dynamic TKIP/CCMP keying.

 The current version includes support for other drivers, an integrated

 an external RADIUS authentication server), and RADIUS authentication
 server for EAP authentication.
 .

  * mac80211 based drivers with support for master mode [linux]
  * Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3 [linux]
  * Driver interface for FreeBSD net80211 layer [kfreebsd]
  * Any wired Ethernet driver for wired IEEE 802.1X authentication.
