Need 802.1x support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

   Can ChromeCast please support 802.1x?

This is necessary for use in corporate and academic settings.

I can't find a true feature request section for ChromeCast so I'll post this 
here. I figure if we get enough stars here we may find planned support for 
802.1x.

Thanks.

Second that. Would love to use this at work to mirror my display onto the 
projector. Need support for PEAP.

Yes please include this. It would make use in schools much more prevalent.

I also would love if this could happen. The device is useless at universities 
essentially.

If this is not an SDK bug, where should it be reported? If it has been taken 
into consideration by the Chromecast team, is there a way to track progress?

Is there any progress on this?? Not being able to use it in an academic setting 
is not cool.

Dits. Network admin at a 2000-student university and we're getting lots of 
requests from teachers wanting to use these, believe it or not.

This is a major need! Network admin private HS, would love to get these things 
out in the classroom...

I've got 802.1x set up at home and can test if needed. Using PEAP and 
MS-CHAP-V2 with Windows Server 2008 r2 as the RADIUS server.
This would be great! I can't use my Chromecast without it because my laptop and 
phone and tablet only connect to the "Secure" network.

Not having 802.1x is preventing my university from seriously considering 
Chromecast for meeting rooms and classrooms.

This would be great. I have no use for one until they support this.

Any update on this? I am sure there are plenty of use here who would be willing 
to test beta code releases if needed and provide feedback.

Please if you are visiting this blog and want this feature post it and sign up 
for notifications. The more we get the more notice we may bring to the issue.

Also in a major academic setting and unable to use my chromecast. There are so 
many great uses for this Google product, but I'm unable to connect using the 
802.1... :-(

I purchased 2 Chromecasts to test at my work (Public library) and it doesn't 
give the option for 802.1x. Please add support for this.

echoing the earlier comments  this is necessary for us here in a K-12 public 
school district.

Yes. I bought a Chromecast dongle for use in my dorm, but it's useless because 
Google isn't allowing support of 802.1X secured networks. This needs to be 
added or my device is a $35 paper weight.

Please add 802.1x. It would be really helpful while I'm on campus using the 
wifi to stream things. i know many professors would like to use it as well!

Would love to be able to use my Chromecast on my college campus but Chromecast 
doesn't support 802.1x secure network. If this could be fixed as soon as 
possible that would be awesome.

a workaround i found for this issue is to connect an ethernet cable to your 
computer and download "Virtual Router Plus" on your computer which is free and 
then you can create your own wifi network and connect your chromecast to that 
network. But still we shouldnt have to do this, i really hope chromecast gets 
802.1x soon.

This would be a great addition and would take the ChromeCast from a cool 
novelty for at home use to a viable business solution.

This is important because that's the only kind of network we can get at work.

I'm a Sys Admin at a small college and we could easily buy 150+ of these for
