Feature changed by: Federico Lucifredi Feature #304937, revision 6 Title: Wireless dynamic WEP connection with 802.1x authentication in Yast/sysconfig openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by Stanislav Visnovsky reject date: 2008-07-29 15:43:08 reject reason: This cannot be done in time for openSUSE 11.1. - openSUSE-11.2: New + openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Requested by: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) Interested: Christian Zoz (zoz) Interested: Guy Lunardi (glunardi) Interested: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Interested: Marcus Kraft (marcuskraft) Interested: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) Interested: Michal Zugec (mzugec) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Yast/sysconfig does already support WPA-EAP wireless connections but is missing support for dynamic WEP connections using 802.1x authentication. wpa_supplicant is able to start such a connection with a network block which uses key_mgmt=IEEE8021X instead of key_mgmt=WPA- EAP. Example: network={ ssid=xxx key_mgmt=IEEE8021X eap=TTLS identity=xxx password=xxx ... } Based on bug #380671 comment #16 and #19. Discussion: #2: Helmut Schaa (hschaa) (2008-07-09 13:34:35) (reply to #1) This request is about dynamic WEP, not static WEP keys (which is already supported). The 802.1x authentication is used to derive dynamic WEP keys repeatedly. It is much more secure then plain static WEP (although not as secure as WPA of course) and still widely used. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=304937
