 ===== WPA2 preauthentication in hostapd =====
 //Suggested Summer of Code project idea//
 **Technical Contact**: [[/AdrianChadd|adrian@]]
-WPA2 is the authentication protocol defined as part of the IEEE 802.11i specification. This protocol is now commonly used to authenticate wireless stations to access points. Part of this protocol is the ability to pre-authenticate a station with one or more access points so that roaming can happen quickly. %%FreeBSD%% lacks support for this aspect of the protocol in the hostapd program used to construct a WPA-enabled access point. This task would port the Linux code that exists to support pre-authentication in hostapd. This mostly involves rewriting some user-mode multicast code and testing the result.
