In 2007 this has been a question on this list: http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2007-October/016418.html and the answer then was. > hostapd does not implement the IEEE 802.1X port access entity (PAE) that would actually be > needed to filter packets. In other words, hostapd alone is not enough implement a wired > authenticator+port control. Is this still true? If so: I did not find much about PAEs. Does anyone know about a PAE implementation on Linux?
