802.1x

technical guide
Operating System Support Currently client devices pose the largest potential problem when deploying 802.1X. Whilst modern operating systems such as Microsoft® Windows Vista/XP®, Mac OS X® 10.4/10.5 and Linux® natively support 802.1X, older OS such as Microsoft® Windows 98/ME® do not. Additionally there are many other devices on the network which do not support 802.1X such as printers, network music player, desktop hubs/switches, and the current iPhone (Firmware 1.1.4.). Workarounds must be found if these devices are to continue functioning on the network.
