[brlug-general] Wireless security (Not specifically Linux-related)

[-ray]

Not a variable, "802.1X" is the name.  Wikipedia defines it as:

"IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control;"

I guess if we get technical, it should be a capital X.  You can use it on 
wired and wireless networks. The other 802.1 standard i'm familiar with is 
802.1Q -- VLAN tags.
