802.1X wireless connection without WEP

Hello,

Please, does someone know if it is possible to connect with Vista
Wirless to an AP with configuration 802.1X but without static WEP
and without dinamic WEP (without encryptation only with authentication
802.1X) ?

How I can realize such connection, if it is possible?.

Thank you so much in advance.

Ummm.... apples and oranges.
WEP is an encryption standard. 802.1x is an authentication standard.

Dynamic WEP allows the access point to deliver a temporary WEP key to
the client. This is normally done by a RADIUS server, a type of
802.1x authentication service. This is normally done with WPA which
is far more secure than WEP, but can be performed with dynamic WEP.

Your subject line contradicts your terse description. Are you trying
to make 802.1x RADIUS authentication work without WEP (no encryption),
or without dynamic WEP (temporary key)? It should work just fine with
either method as encryption has nothing to do with authentication.

However, tell that to Microsloth. They have somehow managed to
conglomerate dynamic WEP with 802.1x thus reducing their available
operating configurations. Your choices are:
Security type Select the method used to authenticate a connection to
the wireless network. The choices are the following:
- No authentication (Open) Open system authentication with no
encryption.
- WEP Open system authentication with Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
- WPA2-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) with a preshared key.
- WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with a preshared key
(also known as a passphrase).
- WPA2-Enterprise WPA2 with IEEE 802.1X authentication.
- WPA-Enterprise WPA with IEEE 802.1X authentication.
- 802.1x IEEE 802.1X authentication with WEP (also known as
dynamic WEP).

It would appear that you have the limited choice of WPA2, WPA, or
dynamic WEP, and nothing else if you're going to use 802.1x
authentication with Vista. Bummer...

Let me tell you how I feel,
All that I say is quite real.
Trust me when I now proclaim,
Wi-fi and magic are the same.

Nothing works, and nothing fits,
All things new just obsoletes.
Documents are much too long,
All you know is very wrong.

Buzzwords tend to just confuse,
Acronyms I get to over-use.
What I write just wastes my time,
but it's such fun to make things rhyme.
