well the problem being that all of the 802.1x supporting switches and
APs i have used in real life have this limitation.  not a myth anymore
it would seem.

i agree authentication is authentication, and there are lots of ways
of doing authentication, but all of the 802.1x implimentations i have
ran accross thusfar require radius (which isnt a big deal, you can run
a radius server on just about anything nowdays and use it to proxy
authentication against something else)
