Seeing lots of upgraded Win 8 machines that fail on 802.1x with stock Win 8 driver, need to roll back to Win 7 driver or go to Intel, Broadcom, etc for a driver that works.

It was actually the test bed I used to configure XpressConnect. I also just tested a PC on our domain with Xpressconnect and it seemed to work just fine. As for the drivers I am unaware of any issues. I used a generic usb wireless adapter (on a Windows 8 VM and Desktop on the domain )and didn’t install any drivers as Windows found something acceptable I wouldn’t call this a complete test as it’s not the final edition but would be interested to know what issues are you seeing? -Bryan Cassell ____________________________________ Bryan Cassell | Network Technician, ITS/Networking Services | •: 978.542.2127 Salem State University, 70 Loring Ave., Salem Massachusetts 01970 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Gogan, James P Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 8:51 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Xpressconnect and Windows 8 We've not gotten XpressConnect to work happily with Windows 8 yet, so I'm interested in this as well. Have sent an email to Cloudpath Support on this, but I'm guessing all Windows 8 questions are awaiting the official Friday release. -- Jim Gogan / UNC-Chapel Hill From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Peter P Morrissey Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 8:47 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Xpressconnect and Windows 8 I’m curious if anyone has gotten Windows 8 devices configured for 1x, using Xpressconnect. I realize there are lots of issues with Windows 8 drivers that make this complicated, so I’m just wondering how it is working when the drivers are capable.
