… The great thing is that, while 802.1X is probably most seen on corporate wireless networks as the preferred form of authentication and access management control, it is not a wireless standard at all and can be used in wired networks as well. This actually makes it easier for wireless and wired networks to interoperate, since they can use the same authentication methods and can connect to each other quite easily. … (Mike Meyers’ CompTIA Security+ p. 331)
