802.1x Authentication/wpa_supplicant for XG

Environment: Home use

My fiber ISP uses 802.1x for authentication. On utm I can achieve this through the use of wpa_supplicant. XG does not appear to contain any package manager to install additional modules.

What means are there to install this to the system? If no means, what is the underlying OS? Perhaps something can be compiled instead?

Keyur, you are correct in your interpretation.

The 802.1x authentication consists of the wpa_supplicant binary and a configuration file referencing several necessary certificates. Those certs are available and present. I just need some means of getting wpa_supplicant (compiled with support for 802.1x auth) onto the system.

In the case of UTM, someone else with better know how did the compiling and provided me with a .rpm package to install.
