Well, now I have egg on my face again! Clearly I didn't read the man page for ifconfig thoroughly enough :\. I now see that 802.1x auth is mentioned under the wpaakms flag of 802.11 operation. That said, I can't see any more information on it in the man page..this does warrant some more investigation though!

Given this, I'm a bit curious as to why there is still a wpa_supplicant package that is being maintained with each release. Granted, it hasn't been updated since about 2007 or something..

Anyway, thanks for the heads up .
