Connections > Advanced > Network Card > Wireless

Once the wireless network has been configured, the Pocket PC device will

associate with an Access Point and begin 802.1x authentication. Once this has

begun, the user will be prompted for a username and password.

Supply the necessary login credentials, and the process will complete.

Configuration using Funk Odyssey Client

The Funk Odyssey client is a commercial software application available on a

number of Windows platforms, including Pocket PC 2002 and 2003. The

software acts as both a radio manager and an 802.1x supplicant, and supports

several different methods of EAP authentication using 802.1x. The software

also supports multiple profiles, simplifying mobility between public and private

wireless networks.
