If you select None (the default value), server-based authentication is not
enabled for your client adapter. After the client utilities are installed, you can
elect not to implement any security features, or you can activate some level
of security by using WEP keys. Refer to the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN
Adapters Software Configuration Guide for instructions on setting WEP keys
using CEM and enabling WEP through ACU.
If you select LEAP, LEAP is enabled on your client adapter, provided an
EAP-enabled RADIUS server is running on your network. After LEAP is
enabled and your computer is rebooted, your client adapter authenticates to
the RADIUS server using your network logon and receives a session-based
WEP key.
If you select EAP, EAP is enabled on your client adapter, provided an
EAP-enabled RADIUS server is running on your network. If your computer
is not using an operating system with built-in EAP support, this option is not
available. After EAP is enabled and your computer is rebooted, your client
adapter authenticates to the RADIUS server using your network logon and
receives a session-based WEP key.
