| Corporate IT monkeys This should fly well (exactly the way bricks don't) with the corporate IT security monkeys.
Nothing like breaking security rules by letting a bunch of CE devices access the corporate intranet while bypassing all device connection rules.
But hey lets look at the bright side, at least your iphone will actually be useful on the corporate network now. |

Cheyenne, WY | I was just thinking the same thing, a hacker or corporate spy could target a specific device instead of trying to hack into an entire network with all of the safety build into it. The Russian Mofia has to be licking their chops on this one.

| And that's why I'll be turning this off in any hardware I set up at work. If it's going to touch our network in any way, it's going to have this disabled. |

unless it still depends on the company network and radius server to get an IP.

| At which point you run the risk of running out of IPs really fast. It doesn't make sense for a device like a mouse to have an IP which comes from the network. This entire setup makes no sense for a routable protocol. A device goes into a single computer, no routing required. |

Yes, this is a security problem that will stop almost all corps from going anywhere near it.

It still adds an extra and completely unrequired layer. Why do you need a routing layer when dealing with a device that doesn't have any of its traffic routed? It's a waste of processing power. |

It's a waste of processing power. And Broadcom and Texas Instruments laugh all the way to the bank. If it acts fast, then the software its running is "obsolete" and not "advanced enough" and must be bloated improved.
