That's a lot less scary.. :) Well, if we're still talking about Bright House customer wifi, the user/pass auth is only on the first connection, and it's in-band. Any device can associate to any of their APs, you just don't get anywhere until you auth the first time, after which it just looks like open wifi to you. So I don't think it is .1x; that won't even let you associate if you can't authenticate, will it? Or do I misunderstand .1x/.11? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
