RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] MacBook Pro Wireless Issues
We found the issue to be with the IPv6 option in the TCP/IP properties of these specific Mac's. After toggling the IP version 6 option from "Automatically" to "Off" in the TCP/IP properties and then reconnecting to wireless seems to work.

We are using Cisco 1131AG lightweight AP's and Cisco WCS/WISM. We have narrowed it down to be a specific Wireless card on the MacBook Pro. Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.131.16.1) & Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.27). We have tried WPA/TKIP, WEP and OPEN (no security) and it doesn't work. Devices are showing authenticated on the Radius but they do not receive an IP address. All it would say is could not connect and no IP address. We have tickets open with Apple and Cisco at the moment but any suggestons would be appreciated.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] MacBook Pro Wireless Issues
It is on the latest firmware version for both.

Upgrading to the latest greatest has helped us some. We have struggled with this issue for over a year as well. Cisco just wants to point to the Mac drivers while Apple hasn't really given us any reply.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Guest Wireless Questions
We also will be implementing this same type of service on our free guest access using Bradford network (Network Access Control) very soon. A staff member will have to vouch for a guest. We will also be limiting users to web browsing only.

Guests must be vouched for by a faculty or staff member and that person takes responsibility for the actions of the guest while they use the network. We have a simple online process that the faculty or staff member uses to create a temporary ID and password for their guest. They can create as many IDs as they need and the ID can be requested to have a lifetime up to 1 week. After that time the ID is deleted. -- Daniel Eklund Director, Networking Wayne State University 313-577-5558 - "Tom Neiss" wrote: > Are you providing free guest wireless access on your campus?
