[Casper] 802.1x login..

[John McLaughlin]

Hi,
	Yes, I actually just figured out the dev work for the script and created
a package which I'm using to deploy within a Self Service policy.  What
you have to do is recreate the Airport dictionary within
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist just as it is
when you get a connection manually.  Then you need to copy your root
certificate in pem format to the system you're creating the connection on.
 Use that cert to trust in your script.  Make sure that the permissions
for the cert are correct when you copy it.  I used /private/var/tmp and so
the permissions were root:wheel in that case.  Let me know if you have any
issues.  I may post the code on AFP548 and/or here if enough people ask me
about it.
