Step 2 Check the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network check box if you did not enable WPA on the Association window.

Step 3 For EAP type, choose one of the following, depending on the software that is installed on your computer:

•Protected EAP (PEAP)—This option appears for PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2).

•PEAP—This option appears for PEAP (EAP-GTC).

Note PEAP (EAP-GTC) is not officially supported for CB21AG and PI21AG client adapters, but you may be able to use it successfully if Cisco’s PEAP security module (included in the Install Wizard file for Cisco Aironet 340, 350, and CB20A client adapters) was previously installed on your computer and installed after Service Pack 1 for Windows XP.
