The Dartmouth wireless network uses EAP-TLS authentication; users authenticate using a personal cert stored in the login keychain.
On Leopard, we have a problem with authentication not taking place automatically the first time the system boots: the interface associates with the access point, but fails to authenticate, so it ends up with a self-assigned IP address.
Upon waking from sleep, on the other hand, everything works fine - eapolclient prompts for the Keychain password (if needed), the user is authenticated, and obtains a valid IP address. Toggling the interface down/up (with ifconfig) also fixes the problem.
I'm trying to develop a workaround for this issue, and I'm wondering if there's a way (less heavy-handed than "ifconfig down", that is) to programatically give the relevant daemon (airportd?) a swift kick and induce it to fire up the authentication process.
I'd also love pointers to documentation on how this is all supposed to work (for example, how/when does eapolclient get launched?)
