It has what is needed with AES, TKIP and so on for WPA, I think 1x is transparent to the kernel and what you really need is the supplicant software for the authentication. Take a look at wpa_supplicant and xsupplicant. You can use EAP, PEAP, LEAP and so on... I believe this is most based on the driver of the NIC you use, and not that much maybe with the kernel (maybe some interaction) but so the answer for your question would be. It has whatever 1x needs. .Alejandro
