[OpenWireless Tech] Open secure wireless

[Diderik van Wingerden]

Hi Mitar,

Thanks for sharing. I am no expert on the subject, but it sounds like a
great addition to open wireless (and wireless networking in general). So
would it be possible to implement this in LibreCMC (or OpenWRT) for
example? And would it then require something on the client's end? Like a
new driver or certificate, as you mention? I mean, the solution would of
course be adopted much faster if a client install/config of some sort
would not be necessary, or at least be super easy.

best regards,
Diderik
