802.1x Client Setup on Windows XP
Windows XP ships with a complete 802.1x client implementation. If using Windows 2000,
you can install SP3 (Service Pack 3) to gain the same functionality.
If you don't have either of these systems, you must use the 802.1x client software provided
with your wireless adapter. Refer to your vendor's documentation for setup instructions.
The following instructions assume that:
