Ok - I'll take apart the vendor code and see what it is they do. As I  
suspect they take some field from the x509 of the TLS cert during the  
EAP exchange.- This is clever as this is where that server is provided  
to the client as part of the 802.1X exchange. Which means that the  
client does not have to have any configuration at all - and can be  
brought into the field without any a-priori configuration.

While on that topic - I noticed that MacOSX started to have a similar  
function:

but have not seen this in operation. Has anyone ?
