EAP Method: The EAP authentication protocols supported by this

adapter require that settings be consistent with the wireless access

points or routers that the adapter is intended to connect.

• PEAP & TTLS: These protocols are similar and easier to use than

TLS (below) in that they specify a stand-alone authentication protocol

to be used within an encrypted tunnel. TTLS supports any protocol

within its tunnel, including CHAP, MS-CHAP, MS-CHAPv2, PAP and

EAP-MD5. PEAP specifies that an EAP-compliant authentication

protocol be used; this adapter supports EAP-MSCHAP v2, EAP-TLS/

Smart Card and Generic Token Card. The client certificate is optional.

• TLS/Smart Card: This is the most secure of the EAP protocols, but

isn’t easy to use: It requires that digital certificates be exchanged in
