- WPA + RADIUS Authentication "How-To"
- A good document describing how to configure WPA and RADIUS
authentication. The only minor comment is that it sets Auth-Type to EAP,
which will break all other authentication types.
- WPA Supplicant
- A WPA and WPA2 supplicant for Linux, BSD, and Windows. It
supports a huge range of EAP types, and includes a command-line tool
called eapol_test, which is useful for testing a RADIUS server without having to use a wireless access point.
