Re: How to use 802.1x Authentication for *WIRED* LAN in WinCE?

The ability to do those things requires driver support. It's not 'done' in
the driver. I don't think that there's any UI in the OS that will allow
user control over the settings, except in the case of a wireless card
driver, either. It's possible that WZC will do the right thing if the card
driver reports that it supports the right OIDs, but I've never read through
it looking for that.

I'm certainly not a reference to that. It's completely undocumented, as far
as I can tell. You can get the Platform Builder evaluation version, read
the source for a wireless card driver and infer which OID values it's using
and what you have to do with them. The source for WZCUI is also there, so
that might tell you what UI you'll have to write yourself. I'm pretty
confident that there's no easy way to accomplish this...

Thanks Paul.

You mean the 802.1x support is implemented at the adapter driver layer?
If so, what functions or interface should implement by the driver for
802.1x? Is there some sample drivers or reference documents?

And how about the authentication interface? I use the "connmc" as our
network config interface, there is no 802.1x configuration Tab for LAN
adapters at all. I dont know which is the right way, customize the
connmc codes or create my own authentication client? both not easy.

Any suggestions?

I think that the problem is the lack of 802.1x support in the network
adapter drivers, not that Windows CE cares one way or the other.

I searched the forum about 802.1x, but most is talking about 802.1x
with wireless LAN.
But we need to implement the 802.1x for general wired LAN, like Windows
XP does.
I know WinCE has 802.1x support indeed, but it seems that the 802.1x
library tightly binded with the wireless stuff, called WZC.
Can I use the existing 802.1x function for wired LAN? Or any other
solutions?

Thanks in advance.
