Mac issues

There is a known condition with wireless Macs where the adapter clings to bad 11a cells, even when better 11g is available- we are struggling a bit with this in certain spots right now. I'm also getting a sense that the newer Mac laptops (both MacBookPro and Air) that have 11n built in may be somew

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Mac issues

We're seeing issues with Macs running the new Leopard (v10.5) OS. They would lose connectivity to our Cisco LWAPP (WPA authentication) wireless network. The only way to resolve it has been to disable and re-enable the wireless NICs. Apple came out with an OS patch (I think it is v10.5.2) that is

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Mac issues

Gary, Assuming you are doing "enterprise" (802.1X) authentication with your WPA setup, Apple Bug ID 5560437 identifies an issue where the Mac *sometimes* does not respond to EAP identity requests until the wireless interface is bounced. It is my understanding that the authentication clien
