RE: FW: [LinkSec] updated handoff presentation
Since 802.1X is designed for all 802 media, why not extend it to incorporate

EAPOL-Hello frame for some time. Perhaps it could have both advertisement
and an query/response semantics. Alternatively, we could revisit the LLDP
discussion - Mick may have some opinions on that...
