It is actually going to be fixed in a 4.1.7 release, so you will not have to upgrade your hardware. I don't have a release date for 4.1.7, but I expect it soon. As for the enable L2 strict mode workaround, that only works in situations where the agent is attempting a login but fails with access blocked by administrator. If the agent can detect any mac addresses (wired nic) this will be the behavior you see. If your wireless supplicant disables the wired nic, the agent cannot detect any mac addresses and that is why the agent never pops up and the login fails. I apologize for the miscommunication.
