Access points to which your client adapter may attempt to authenticate must use the following
firmware versions or later: 11.23T (340 and 350 series access points), 11.54T (1200 series access
points), Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA (1130 series and BR 1310 series access points), Cisco IOS
Release 12.3(7)JA (1240 series access points), or Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)JA (1100 series access
points).

Note
The access point to which your client adapter will associate must be configured for open
authentication.
All necessary infrastructure devices (such as access points, servers, gateways and user databases)
must be properly configured for EAP-FAST authentication.
If you want to enable EAP-FAST without WPA or WPA2, choose 802.1x under Set Security Options
and EAP-FAST in the 802.1x EAP Type drop-down box.
If you want to enable EAP-FAST with WPA or WPA2, choose WPA/WPA2/CCKM under Set
Security Options and EAP-FAST in the WPA/WPA2/CCKM EAP Type drop-down box.
If you want to enable CCKM on the client adapter, you must choose the WPA/WPA2/CCKM
security option, regardless of whether you want the adapter to use WPA or WPA2. The
configuration of the access point to which your client adapter associates determines whether
CCKM will be used with 802.1x, WPA, or WPA2.
