Michael,
First off the bug is marked incorrectly internally. It is actually going
to be fixed in a 4.1.7 release, so you will not have to upgrade your
hardware. I don't have a release date for 4.1.7, but I expect it soon.
As for the enable L2 strict mode workaround, that only works in
situations where the agent is attempting a login but fails with access
blocked by administrator. If the agent can detect any mac addresses
(wired nic) this will be the behavior you see. If your wireless
supplicant disables the wired nic, the agent cannot detect any mac
addresses and that is why the agent never pops up and the login fails.
I apologize for the miscommunication.
Thanks,
Nate

Just got this from our TAC engineer today... has me about ready to throw
all my Cisco equipment in the dumpster.

It's a knows bug CSCsr87134 "Vista Agent does not detect MAC address of
Wireless NICs", but unfortunately it's not yet fixed in publicly
available Agent. It will be available in 4.5.
In a meantime you can consider using one of workaround options:
1) Stop pushing out 4.1.6 agent and return to 4.1.3.x or prior.
2) Disable "Enable L2 Strict Mode" option.
Please let me know how it's working for you.
Cheers,
Vadim.
We can't upgrade to 4.5 without upgrading our hardware, which we are not
currently budgeted to do. Excuse my language, but their solution is
absolute bullshit. We don't even use "Enable L2 Strict Mode"
