Does the Huawei/T-Mobile Comet support 802.1x LEAP?

[m2go]

I got the new T-Mobile branded Comet. To get access to Wifi at work (which requires LEAP or EAP-TLS), I downloaded Full Wifi and tried to set up my LEAP password. Alas, connection was declined and I but haven't been able to set up LEAP for WIfi access at work.

Does the Wifi adapter for the Comet support LEAP or EAP-TLS? Has anybody had success accessing their corporate LEAP-protected Wifi?

Thanks!

Not sure if this helps, but T-Mobile support has a little flash based simulator of it

Called TMobile, the CSR said the Comet does not support 802.1x LEAP. Not sure if this was because she did not understand the question and figured "never heard of Comet doing this", or it was based on detailed knowledge of the facts.

However, since this aligns with my and a colleague's inability to connect with 802.1x LEAP at work w/ the Comet (aka Huawei Ideos), and it works fine for a colleague w/ IPhone, I assume that it does not. Next try will be EAP-TLS.
