RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Windows 8 and Broadcom wireless cards

2013-12-07 Thread Jason Cook

Like others we have had plenty of issues through 8.0 and 8.1

Broadcom specifically  has been one of our recent issues on 8.1.

Various driver revisions didn't work, however we found that disabling 
"Bluetooth collaboration" under the Advanced tab to resolve the issues we were 
having.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Windows 8 and Broadcom wireless cards

Good morning,

I was wondering if any other school is having issues with the Broadcom Wireless 
network cards running Windows 8/8.1 pro on a WPA2/AES network?  We have 
students that are upgrading their Dell computers from Windows 7 to Windows 8 
and the cards stop working on our secure network.

They are prompted for 802.1x credentials, and the ACS server authenticates them 
as well as the DHCP server handing out an IP address, but the computer always 
states limited or no connectivity.

What is really weird is that we have a 1232AG radio and the card will connect 
ONLY to the A radio, but not to the 1142N-A radio.   We are running 7.0.253.5 
code because of the older AP's on campus.   We did purchase a separate 
controller for a test environment which we have running 7.4.110.0 now and it 
still won't connect to the 1142n-a radios.

Trying to back the driver down to Windows 7-64 bit doesn't work (won't allow it 
to be installed).

Any ideas?

Thanks
Shayne

Just a thought.

Is anyone using a different certificate other than Globalsign with their ACS 
server?  If you're successful in using the certificates on all Windows 8/8.1pro 
machines, could you please let me know what certificate you're using?

We're using GeoTrust Global CA and GeoTrust DV SSL on our ACS server, and I'm 
wondering if this is the root cause of it not working.  We have to install the 
certificates manually when getting on our secure network and since Globalsign 
is already installed, I'm wondering if this might be the problem.

Thanks again!

2013-12-04 Thread Frank Sweetser

One new "feature" that we found the hard way in 8.1 is that it tightens up
validating CA certificates. In particular, we found that our self-signed
certificate (which we explicitly placed in the trusted CA store) got silently
rejected because it didn't have any kind of OCSP or other revocation data in
it. The tell-tale was that any machines upgraded to 8.1 would only
successfully connect if server validation was disabled in the wireless
profile. Moving to a properly set up CA (CloudPath PKI in our case) solved
that particular batch of problems.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Windows 8 and Broadcom wireless cards

2013-12-04 Thread T. Shayne Ghere

Has anyone seen people upgrading their Windows 7 computers to Windows 8 or
8.1 and the wireless breaks completely? That’s what I’m seeing here with
the Broadcom and some Atheros cards.

I’ve been working on this since Monday (solid) and cannot get any Broadcom
wlan cards to connect with Windows 8 or 8.1pro, but if I re-image the
computer to Windows 7 pro, it works just fine.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but I’ve shelved the Broadcom chipset as a
“Won’t work on our wireless network” if you upgrade to 8. Now moving on
to some of the others that are coming in.

Going to be fun after Christmas. /ugh

Thanks

Shayne

They are prompted for 802.1x credentials, and the ACS server authenticates

What is really weird is that we have a 1232AG radio and the card will

7.0.253.5 code because of the older AP’s on campus. We did purchase a

now and it still won’t connect to the 1142n-a radios.

Trying to back the driver down to Windows 7-64 bit doesn’t work (won’t

Any ideas?

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Windows 8 and Broadcom wireless cards

I had a user just the other day upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1 and it broke all of the stuff you mentioned. I rolled back the driver from version 6.30?? to 5.30 for their Broadcom 802.11n network adapter and all was well after that. The 5.30 driver was already on their computer listed under the device manager options.

Good morning,
 
I was wondering if any other school is having issues with the Broadcom Wireless network cards running Windows 8/8.1 pro on a WPA2/AES network?  We have students that are upgrading their Dell computers from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and the cards stop working on our secure network.
 
They are prompted for 802.1x credentials, and the ACS server authenticates them as well as the DHCP server handing out an IP address, but the computer always states limited or no connectivity.
 
What is really weird is that we have a 1232AG radio and the card will connect ONLY to the A radio, but not to the 1142N-A radio.   We are running 7.0.253.5 code because of the older AP’s on campus.   We did purchase a separate controller for a test environment which we have running 7.4.110.0 now and it still won’t connect to the 1142n-a radios.
 
Trying to back the driver down to Windows 7-64 bit doesn’t work (won’t allow it to be installed).
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks
Shayne

Does the new driver in Win 8 do 802.11w?

See the list archives for detail, google 'cisco 802.11w educause' should 
probably work.

May or may not be your issue, but on my phone I can't really look properly at 
code versions etc.

Thanks
