eap Mailing List: RE: Resolution of 802.1X/EAP-SM issue

[Bernard Aboba (aboba]

The IETF Internet-Draft submission is coming up very soon, and hopefully
we will have an EAP-State Machine revision in by then incorporating the 
proposed fix.

Assuming that this happens, will there be time to get a fix applied to
IEEE 802.1X-REV?
