Would that be IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP (i.e., no WPA)?

I haven't tried any, but please keep in mind that if you are indeed
using IEEE 802.1X and not WPA, this should require quite a bit less from
the driver and using generic Linux wireless extensions _may_ be enough
even if the driver is not listed. Anyway, it would certainly be useful
to test this before claiming any support ;-).
