Wireless CPE/Bridge with WPA(2)/802.1x support

Hello,
I am starting to put up some APs that will use my RADIUS server to provide wireles authentication with WPA.

I am looking for an Ethernet-based CPE that is < $125 and supports RADIUS/802.1x authentication... I would love it to have WPA2 support, but WPA is find :-(

I currently have some Edimax NG-7206APg, great little radios, good clients, but no 802.1x on the client side...

I was looking at the Senaos, a bit more $, and I still can't confirm if it supports what I want.

Someone else must have dealt with this problem before...

Thanks,
Scott

you might also want to look at the eub usb adapters they are super long range.

You might be searching for a while; WPA-PSK is very popular now but most manufacturers consider 802.1x as enterprise-level security and charge enterprise-level prices to match.

WPA2 PSK using the AES cypher and a really nice long random passkey is considered extremely high security nowdays, would that do the trick?

As a follow up I have seen that it is possible to get a 802.1x client to work on a Linksys WRT54G. This requires installing the OpenWRT firmware and Xsupplicant. I haven't tried it, and it will require some Linux knowledge, but it's the best solution for that price I can find.

Hi there

Just got a Linksys WAP54G and a WRT54G in my hands today and thier new firmware has WPA2 support as well as 802.1x etc. You can get these AP's for as cheap as $140.00 in New Zealand if you look around.
