RFC 4334, "Certificate Extensions and Attributes Supporting Authentication in Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)", February 2006

(1)

In the 3rd paragraph of section 1, on page 2 RFC 4334 says:

   For example, the same wireless station might use IEEE 802.1X to
   authenticate to a corporate IEEE 802.11 WLAN and a public IEEE 802.11
   "hotspot."  [...]
           ^^
The syntax error of that sentence should be corrected to say:

   For example, the same wireless station might use IEEE 802.1X to
   authenticate to a corporate IEEE 802.11 WLAN and a public IEEE 802.11
|  "hotspot".  [...]
           ^^

(2)

At the end of the 2nd paragraph of section 5, on page 6, the RFC says:

                           [...].  Whenever this SSID disclosure is a
   concern, different peer certificates ought to be used for the each
   WLAN.
                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^
It should say:

                           [...].  Whenever this SSID disclosure is a
|  concern, different peer certificates ought to be used for each WLAN.
