Question about hostapd (authenticator) support for wired (Ethernet) clients

[Sebastian Weitzel]

Are you sure about that hostap does PAE functionality for wired interfaces?
That means does hostap only allow traffic from and to authenticated  
wired stations?

AFAIK hostapd does not. It only does authentication and accounting.
Its been some month I've looked on hostap code, but in the current cvs
I couldnt find PAE support for wired.
