We have iPaq's that we configure with LEAP, I am not sure about the
Palms.  

Windows XP supports PEAP out of the box so if the laptop can run XP then
they are golden.  If not several Manufactures including Cisco sold cards
that supported LEAP.  The current Linksys cards we carry in our
bookstore support PEAP/LEAP and I think Windows 98.  We do not see much
Windows 95/98/2000 anymore.  We have also seen that it is the freshman
primarily using wireless because they were told by the recruiters that
wireless is available so we have seen a huge increase in Laptops with
our freshman class.  

I had an interesting conversation with one of our helpdesk seniors, he
thought that the whole wireless thing was stupid (and he is a techie).
The freshman, however, expect it!

We are running Shared WEP128bit for our Faculty/Staff computers (owned
by
the university) and no encryption on a broadcasted ssid for
students/Others,
on the WEP side, no clean access required for systems, as they are on a
NAC
Controlled vlan, and on the student side, we are using Clean Access...

We are looking at some of the PEAP/LEAP stuff, and honestly at this
point I
wouldn't mind everyone to have a double login for more security.

Martin- Just a quick question or two- How do Palms and Older Laptops
deal
with LEAP?
