Thanks for 802.11 references, Bernard. 
Authenticating and interfacing to AAA in 802.11 is a possible solution for
802.11 networks. But is it necessarily the right place to do it for all
networks?  What about the non-802.11 networks, like 3G networks. Are we
assuming that all link layers would interface to AAA? Why not provide means
of doing this at a higher layer, for instance DHCP?

Any comments ?

	Cheers,
