Re: What do you think about the signal:noise ratio? Survey results

There are a few general points that I thought were worth highlighting: There is a gulf between the way that developers and non-developers see the world. This is reflected in their interests, their speech, and their approach to issues. While Ubuntu has many ingenious technologies to improve devel

Freeradius with EAP/TTLS supports

Hi all, I am looking for a freeradius version with openssl for wpa eap/TTLS authentication, but the Debian policy inhibited the freeradius package with ssl support. So for some tests I build a eap modul for the freeradius by myself, but after the successful wpa2 tests we will start with a fre
