However, I fight with 802.1x under FreeBSD. I know Pekka Nikander worked on an
802.1x implementation under FreeBSD (see [1]), but I wasn't able to make it
work with a FreeRadius server.
My 802.1x implementation is still lacking quite a lot,
especially at the user space side.  The kernel level
stuff is mostly complete.  The biggest missing pieces
at the kernel side are support for multiple clients
in a shared Ethernet, and SMP support so that the code
could be included in 5.0-current.

On the user level side, there is no support for Radius
or Diameter, or for any other EAP protocols but OPIE.
OTOH, it should be very easy to write new user level
modules, especially client side modules.  If I remember
correctly, I had some changes in mind for the server
side user level library, but I don't remember exactly
what.  The TODO should tell you something.

Having said that, I do intend to continue the work, but just
haven't had time.  If there is interest, I'd more than happy
to help other folks in continuing with the code.  (Having a
baby at the house keeps me very effectively from having too
much spare time, and my job responsibilities have drifted
away from FreeBSD.)

If you want to start working, don't hesitate sending me
e-mail, either CC:ing to the list or privately.  Reading
the Usenix paper (available on my web pages) probably
helps understanding the structure of the code.
