I had mixed results when using the intel client to manage the cards in the past. Not to mention problems with the intel client corrupting the profiles it used to connect to the different SSIDs. I also had issues once I told the intel client to let windows to manage the wireless card with the intel client interfering with the wireless card attaching to the AP near it. As a result I completely removed the intel wireless client software and only let windows manage the intel wireless cards. Plus as a perk, you can also use Windows AD to push wireless profiles on the laptops for easy migration to different SSIDs or security settings for those SSIDs.

Jeff Jeff Granquist Contractor - Telecommunications Florida Department of Revenue 850-717-6775 ofc [email protected] >>> <[email protected]> 09/01/2011 4:31 AM >>> Is anyone out there having any trouble with Intel WLAN adapters and HiPath? Specifically, we've had ~100 student laptops come in with Intel 1000BGN adapters - latest drivers - that remain connected to the network, but stop receiving traffic from our 3610 APs. Disconnect/reconnect and things are fine for a short while, then stop working again. Some clients stop receiving traffic immediately after obtaining an IP address. Open SSID, WPA2, it doesn't matter. I've also had trouble with random versions of the Intel 5100 adapter. 5300/62xx/63xx only seem to experience occasional packet loss but otherwise no major problems. Atheros/Broadcom adapters exhibit none of these issues. I'm currently working with support, but it's pretty slow going so I thought I'd ping to see if others are having the same issues. Running firmware 7.41.05.0003 here. Cheers!
