We've been working on similar issues with Aruba, and they claim that there is a known issue with Mac OS X clients in terms of frequency band selection. Supposedly according to Apple, clients with Mac OS X 10.5.3 and higher should prefer the 5GHz band over the 2.4GHz band. But there are still a bunch of other things going on that we're working on characterizing. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 9.8.3.4028 wj8DBQFI6heDDlQHnMkeAWMRAuiAAJ0dS6b/tpxdLM/PmRkt2Uh8BdbERwCg4rWe bXueOz7WP4d550aYKlKJ68U= =6L17 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Julian Y.
