MSM430 - 802.1x WEP only ??

hi experts :]

 

I have few MSM430 APs and I'm in the process of setting up 802.1x for wireless.

I have an external radius server [MS] and client/machine certificates - all is playing nicely but I found that I cannot

use WPA/WPA2-Enterprise encryption with 802.1x wireless security mode.

can someone [preferably from HP] explain this?

many thanks

here's some info taken from the AP logs,showing that 802.1x authenticated and connected user is only using WEP:

 

        LinuxInterface[0] = wvlan1
       StationMACAddress[0] = 3C:A9:F4:66:BA:1C
     VirtualAPMACAddress[0] = A0:D3:C1:A7:79:D0
      ConnectionDuration[0] = 00:08:56
             SignalLevel[0] = -54
              NoiseLevel[0] = -84
                    VLAN[0] = 0
                VAPIndex[0] = 1
       TrafficAuthorized[0] = True
  IEEE8021XAuthenticated[0] = True

                 PHYType[0] = 802.11g
                 WPAType[0] = *no* *WPA*
               IPAddress[0] = CE.NS.OR.ED
                     WME[0] = True
         PowerManagement[0] = False
           AssociationID[0] = 1
           AssocUniqueID[0] = 5
             VSCUniqueID[0] = 1

                    SSID[0] = Test-WLAN-01
                WPAatMSC[0] = *False*

            WEPEncrypted[0] = *True*
               NbRetries[0] = 1253
             LegacyRates[0] = 4095
              BasicRates[0] = 15
                 HTRates[0] = 16777215
         NumberOfStreams[0] = 0
                QosLevel[0] = 4
          PacketsWMMTxBG[0] = 9820
          PacketsWMMTxBE[0] = 0
          PacketsWMMTxVO[0] = 0
          PacketsWMMTxVI[0] = 8
          PacketsWMMRxBG[0] = 7008
          PacketsWMMRxBE[0] = 0
          PacketsWMMRxVO[0] = 0
          PacketsWMMRxVI[0] = 0
                SourceID[0] = B1:37:2B:45:4B:C2

 

 

from the MSM430 tech specs:

802.1X support:
provides port-based user authentication with support for Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) MD5, TLS, TTLS, and PEAP with choice of
AES, TKIP, and static or dynamic WEP encryption for protecting wireless traffic between authenticated clients and the access point.

edit: I'm running the AP in 'autonomus' mode.

so far I have not figured out how to use WPA2 encryption with 802.1x security for VSC.

 

any ideas ANYONE ?

 

thx!
