6.14 Wireless Client WPA Supplicants

A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the
wireless client how to use WPA. At the time of writing, the most widely available supplicants
are the WPA patch for Windows XP, Funk Software's Odyssey client, and Meetinghouse Data
Communications' AEGIS client.
The Windows XP patch is a free download that adds WPA capability to Windows XP's built-
in "Zero Configuration" wireless client. However, you must run Windows XP to use it.

6.15 Configuring 802.1x and WPA

To change your ZyAIR's authentication settings, click the WIRELESS link under
ADVANCED and then the 802.1x/WPA tab. The screen varies by the key management
protocol you select. The WPA function is not available on all ZyAIR models.
You see the next screen when you select No Access Allowed or No Authentication Required
in the Wireless Port Control field.
