That's exactly (the "auth" part) what I want to do. I already use IPSEC
in tunnel mode, but I'd prefer separate authentication and crypto (the
former goes between the mobile device and the access point while the
latter is between the mobile device and the service being accessed).

Did anyone test it with FreeBSD?
