Hello. I was just thinking about wireless networking and was wondering if there is a way to negotiate a WPA key with an authenticator without a supplicant?
Also can a WPA key be transmitted to a WPA authenticator with a software defined radio?
Maybe a handheld 386 or a pda could connect to wifi this way -- not with an operating system but a transceiver + software defined radio.
I was thinking of a way to use Intel's 386 handheld reference design from the 90s or a PDA in a warehouse inventory tracking system.
Does DOS and Slackware for i386 both have ways of using wifi that don't need a software radio? That is can one get drivers and an operating system service to connect to wifi?
I remember back in the 90s Intel had a reference design for a hand held PC with 386 processor. Using an SDR could be a fun project for a so endowed PC. Could synch with a warehouse inventory managment system.
