Jorge,
Thanks for the response. We are using Cisco AP 1131 and AP 1242 - we
don't use a controller, only WLSE to manage. We have the basic default
radio settings enabled
Title: RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Frequent reassociations/reauthentications in 802.1x WLAN
Have you looked in your logs to see if the aps are changing channels? I know older versions of the IOS would only pick a channel on boot, but it seems like newer ones do it during normal operation. We had

Here's an example of the Intel 2100 roaming algorithm. This is an old
card and EOLd but is sheds some light on why it has major problems...
When the device driver
Shumon,
We used to have the same problem when we had the Aironet solution a
couple of years back. It was actually due to the APs sending a
re-association packet/frame to the device, even if that device was
directly underneath the AP. What type of platform are you currently
running your

and the problem still persists. The intervals seem to be regular - for
Fascinating discussion .. thanks for all the comments and
suggestions.
Clearly AP transitions in an authenticated WLAN are very
costly. We'll continue tuning the AP deployment to see if
we can minimize them (as Julian is doing on his campus). But
judging from this thread, a large part of the
