Table 6-1	Stages of LEAP or EAP-FAST Authentication
Stage		Explanation
Starting LEAP or EAP-FAST		The client adapter associates to an access point, and the LEAP
Authentication		or EAP-FAST authentication process begins.
Checking Link Status		The client adapter is EAP authenticated, and the network
		connection is verified.

		made to find the domain controller to make sure subsequent
		access to the domain is successful.

If you do not want the LEAP or EAP-FAST Authentication Status window to appear each time the client adapter attempts to authenticate using LEAP or EAP-FAST, check the Show minimized next time check box at the bottom of the window. On future LEAP or EAP-FAST authentication attempts, the LEAP or EAP-FAST Authentication Status window appears minimized in the Windows taskbar.

The LEAP or EAP-FAST Authentication Status window should now appear for all future LEAP or EAP-FAST authentication attempts.
