Unfortunately, most solutions don't stay that way. Once DHCP
is out there as
a network access authentication protocol, it will be used to
the full extent
and get extended everywhere (SDOs, vendors, etc.).

If we ask about "usefulness", I'm sure there will
always be some people no
matter what carries CHAP or EAP (IP, ARP, router discovery,
Neighbor
discovery, Mobile IP, avians, etc...). 

I think we shall ask instead: 
- Why do we need another solution as IETF when we have
PANA?
- Is DHCP the right protocol to use?

Alper, I was asking specifically because I wanted to know if
removing  
EAP made the protocol useless.   I didn't want to know if
anybody  
considered the protocol useful in general; obviously someone
does, or  
it wouldn't have been proposed.
