Title: RE: Write an RFC Was: experiments in the ietf week

Well I would submit that there is a major problem there on the security usability front.

Don't make me think. My tolerance for network configuration is vastly greater than the typical user.

This has to all just work, just like my Apple Mac did on the home network the day I bought it. Not like my Apple Mac this morning which for some unaccountable reason no longer sees the machines it acknowledged before and gives me precisely zero information to allow me to determine the cause.

Is there something missing from ietf.1x ssid support that we've had for
years? It uses IETF standards, too...
