I’d go with E. Managing all those certificates is a hassle.

But isn't B a concern too? No protection for usernames and passwords?

I feel like A is also a problem. Roaming delays can frustrate users.

E) is the right answer. The extensive PKI use for X.509 certificates increases administrative overhead.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about EAP-TLS not protecting usernames and passwords like PEAP does.

Hmm, I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The disadvantage of EAP-TLS is that it doesn't protect the client's username and password, unlike PEAPv0 EAP/MSCHAPv2. That's a key security difference between the two.

I'm a bit confused on the details here. I'll need to review my notes on the strengths and weaknesses of these 802.11 security protocols to determine the best answer.

B) is correct. EAP-TLS does not protect the client's username and password inside an encrypted tunnel.

Ah, I remember learning about these protocols in class. I think the main issue with EAP-TLS is the increased overhead from the PKI requirements. That could be a significant disadvantage compared to the simpler PEAPv0 approach.

Okay, let's see. I know EAP-TLS uses certificates, so that's probably the key difference. I'll need to compare the security and administrative aspects of the two approaches.
