Does the ipod touch support 802.1x?

The iPod touch only supports the consumer-standard WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption schemes and does not support any network-access authentication controls like 802.1x or WPA/2-enterprise. This would be a software issue, in that the iPod designers didn’t think a 802.1x supplicant would be a necessary feature in a consumer electronics device. However, since the iPod touch runs darwin (OS X), and an SDK is forthcoming, we may see a 3rd-party 802.1x supplicant down the road.
