I'm trying to set up my Cisco WiFi connection, which uses EAP-FAST. I have 10.4.8, it's supposed to be there. It's just not there. I'm totally up to date on software. What am I missing? Is there an explicit way I can enable/install support for EAP-FAST?

One possible thing here... I imported my entire setup from a previous laptop when I commissioned this machine. That may have confused it. That laptop (G3 iBook) had wifi, but maybe there was some other config info missing that confused it.
I've seen this in other upgrades, too, and it's disturbing. It even ports the old machine name to the new one... how do you change that? I think it copies over some of the "character" aspects of the old machine, leading the new machine to be a little confused on what it really is.
This is just speculation.

It definitely works; I know people (at Cisco) who are using it.
It is an item under "New 802.1X Connection..." in Internet Connect. Wish I could provide more guidance, but I don't have any way to test it.

EAP is an authentication protocol-and it's supposed to be related to the 802.1X options, which are all about authentication.
And this, being a Networking question, belongs in Networking...

I know - that's where I'm looking for it, and it's just not there. There is TTLS, TLS, LEAP, PEAP and MD5 - but no EAP-FAST. I've seen pictures of what it's supposed to look like, but mine doesn't match it. Cisco used to use LEAP, but swtiched to EAP-FAST. And OS 10.4.8 explicitly says that it adds support for EAP-FAST (search Apple's site).
The reason I put this in OSX category was because it seems to be an OS issue - that option is supposed to be in this release, but it's not. I will have no trouble setting up the networking part, I'm wondering why my 10.4.8 doesn't have this option (and more to the point, how I fix it).
