Enable Opportunistic Key	Enables the same pairwise master key (PMK) derived with a	Disabled
Caching (WPA2)	client and an associated AP to be used when the client roams
	to a new AP. This allows users faster roaming without having
	to reauthenticate.
	Make sure that the wireless client (the 802.1x supplicant)
	supports this feature before you enable this option. If the client
	does not support this feature, the client will attempt to
	renegotiate the key whenever it roams to a new AP. As a
	result, the key cached on the WFS709TP can be out of sync
	with the key used by the client.
