This *should* be in the background and not actually be delaying the boot.
The point is: Why is it started anyway? I have *no* wireless! No need to eat disk/CPU resources (which *is* delaying the boot).
Authentication isn't just for wireless anymore... Many network switches can be configured to require 802.1x authentication from a system before allowing access to the network. I'll be looking into enabling 802.1x authentication here at work this summer. This is a case of having things "just work" - having the world's fastest boot time shouldn't be the ultimate goal here.

where is the option to turn this authentication daemon off?
