How can I programmatically disable 802.1X authentication on a Wireless
interface on Windows XP SP1/SP2?

I want to automate using another supplicant instead of using the builtin
supplicant.

Thanks,

..Ram

Right-click the wireless connection for which you want to
disable 802.1x authentication, and then click Properties.

On the Authentication tab, do the following:

To disable 802.1x authentication for this connection, click
to clear the Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1x check box.

I want to do it programmatically and not from the Authentication tab.
