802.11 association.

When 802.1x is required, the access point enforces 802.1x authentication for all 802.11 associated stations. If 802.1x authentication is not initiated by the station, the access point will initiate authentication. Only those stations successfully authenticated with 802.1x are allowed to access the network.

802.1x does not apply to the 10/100Base-TX port.
