802.1X Security Overview

HJ Franzen writes "Ars Technica have what they call a wireless security blackpaper posted that's well worth a read. I wish this was available when I was spec'ing wireless VPN solutions for my campus. The article is pretty detailed and discusses the many ways in which companies are trying to address the fatal flaws in WEP."

  1. Zaurus doesn't pay attention to the SID? by dolphinuser · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have a Zaurus SL-5500, and when using it with my 802.11b network, it doesn't seem to care about the SID.

    It doesn't matter what name I use, it seems to always work. Has anyone else experienced this?
