1. Some non-Cisco Aironet client adapters do not perform 802.1X authentication to the access point unless you configure 
Open authentication with EAP. To allow both Cisco Aironet clients using LEAP and non-Cisco Aironet clients using LEAP 
to associate using the same SSID, you might need to configure the SSID for both Network EAP authentication and 
Open authentication with EAP. Likewise, to allow both Cisco Aironet 802.11a/b/g client adapters (CB21AG and PI21AG) 
running EAP-FAST and non-Cisco Aironet clients using EAP-FAST or LEAP to associate using the same SSID, you might 
need to configure the SSID for both Network EAP authentication and Open authentication with EAP.
