Connecting to the wireless network with an IEEE 802.1x client using a certificate

IEEE 802.1x clients should now be able to connect to the access point using their TLS

prompted for login information. The certificate is automatically sent to the RADIUS server
for authentication and authorization.

Data Encryption

WEP

Note: An RC4 stream cipher is used to encrypt the
frame body and cyclic redundancy checking (CRC)
of each IEEE 802.11 frame. This is the same
encryption algorithm as is used for Static WEP;
therefore, the data encryption method configured on
the client for this mode is WEP.
