EAP pre-authentication can only occur if the host is already connected (e.g.
link is in the "up" state), so this is not relevant to DNA. IEEE 802.11r is
a somewhat complicated because initial authentication uses the 802.11i model
(e.g. no IP connectivity prior to post-EAP handshake completion), but
handoffs are more like the original 802.11 model ("link up" on completion of
authenticated re-association). Given that 11r isn't done yet, it is
probably best not to try to cover it in this document.
