Re: LEAP wireless authentication ???

I have two dual boot laptops from work, where LEAP authentication
is required for all wireless network connections. One laptop
has a Cisco 350 Aironet card, and the other has an Atheros
AR5212/AR5213 built-in tranceiver. Both laptops work fine in
Windows XP. I'd like to get either or both working for Linux.
Right now I'm running Mandriva 2008.0 on one laptop and Mandriva
2008.1 on the other. Both are functional over wireless at home.
Neither are functional at work using LEAP on the wireless.

How should I go about getting LEAP to work on these laptops?

According to the wpa_supplicant documentation, it supports LEAP if the wireless driver for the interface does. I don't have a final answer for you, but I'd suggest that the more fundamental question is whether the Linux drivers for your hardware supports LEAP. After that it should just be a matter of wpa_supplicant configuration.
