We currently have the Wi-Fi 6 extensions disabled because of the Intel
Driver issues
(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000054799/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html)
We've been notifying clients and were updating drivers until instructed
to just turn off Wi-Fi 6.
This begs the question of trying to identify the problematic machines
and seek them out, or
just announce a future date to turn on Wi-Fi 6 and go back to dealing
with updating drivers as
they come up. We'll have a mix (currently ~15% Wi-Fi 6) of AP models
for a while, so the issues
won't all show right away.
Anyone looked into identifying the machines needing updated through
fingerprinting
(Aruba Insight or Airwave or Clearpass ) ?

We've done a test deployment of Aruba 515s. There seem to be some driver
compatibility issues. We have 2 IT buildings. I had an induvial able to
connect and see SSIDs just fine in our building with 315s. When she came to
the building with 515s, she saw nothing. I updated her drivers, and then
everything worked. So just be aware you might see more of that. We were
running 8.503 code (I think).

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba Wi-Gi 6 APs
Anyone have any Wi-Fi 6 APs deployed yet, and if so any thoughts either good or
bad. I'm looking at swapping out the APs in our dining hall first, since they
seem to get the most use.
